The illustration shows DNA being folded into a loop by an SMC motor called cohesin (in purple/blue). The purple part of the motor (with a red/green label) is the protein subunit NIPBL, which acts ...

And strikingly, the team found that it did: the human SMC protein cohesin does indeed not only pull DNA into a loop, but also twists the DNA in a left-handed way by 0.6 turns in each step of ...

Variation in the loop regions accounts for the diversity of DNA sequences recognized by Ig-fold proteins, but there are recurring themes in the interactions made by specific loop regions and how ...

And strikingly, the team found that it did: the human SMC protein cohesin does indeed not only pull DNA into a loop, but also ...

The relatively large bacterial DNA can then be separated from the smaller DNA loop that makes up the vector. Fill the syringe with the altered vectors. Upon inoculation, billions of copies of the ...

The process starts by copying over a single strand of DNA into its counterpart assembled of As, Gs, Cs and Ts, but ones that each come attached to a much larger, loop-shaped molecule coded to ...

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers have developed a CRISPR-based diagnostic tool capable of detecting ...
