"Our goal was to try to predict the three-dimensional genome structure from the underlying DNA sequence," says Bin Zhang, an associate professor of chemistry and the senior author of the study.

DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...

A first-ever analysis of the whole Greenland shark genome gives researchers a couple of clues to their longevity.

DNA is negatively charged ... Thus, the 30-nanometer fiber may be highly irregular and not quite the uniform structure depicted in instructive drawings such as Figure 1 (Bednar et al., ...
