For decades, scientists have studied how to control DNA—the molecule that holds the instructions for all life. One of the ...

The G-loop acts like a landing pad for additional proteins. These proteins untie the G4 knot, break apart the G-loop and ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such ...

Single-stranded DNA is less common than double-stranded DNA. It is often found in some viruses and plays a key role in certain biological processes, such as cell replication or repair. Single ...

A form of DNA with a key role Single-stranded DNA is less common than double-stranded DNA. It is often found in some viruses and plays a key role in certain biological processes, such as cell ...

However, current DNA sequencing technologies cannot resolve these initial single-strand events from which mutations originate. This talk will present a novel single-molecule, long-read sequencing ...

An INRS team discovers a new family of enzymes capable of inducing targeted cuts in single-stranded DNA . A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the ...

The team initially set out to study another replication machinery protein, single-stranded DNA-binding protein, and its interaction with DNA polymerase. However, they first needed to establish how the ...
