Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our DNA. This code, embedded in the three-dimensional structure of DNA, goes ...
Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?
Not all DNA looks like the familiar double helix. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes under certain conditions. One such structure known as a G-quadruplex (G4) looks like a ...
