Oregon State University researchers have made significant new advances in determining the structure of all possible DNA sequences -- a discovery that in one sense takes up where Watson and Crick ...

Scientists have discovered a new structure inside human cells: a never-before-seen twisted "knot" of DNA. Dubbed the "i-motif," this four-stranded knot looks totally different from the iconic ...

A new study has found that ORC plays a broad, unexpected role in regulating human cell gene expression and chromatin ...
