The genome is more than a linear code; it is a dynamic structure whose three-dimensional folding dictates how genes are regulated. Traditional sequencing technologies capture base-level variation but ...

When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose above midtown one piece at a time, with each individual element combining to become, for 40 years, the world’s tallest building.

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated-able to read not only the ...

Ancient DNA has been reconstructed in three dimensions for the first time ever. Researchers were able to piece together what the chromosomes of a 52,000-year-old mammoth looked like, allowing them to ...

Every time we step outside, our cells are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is known to cause deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage. While our bodies have built-in repair mechanisms to undo ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have for the first time used DNA to help create 3D electronically operational devices with nanometer-size features. "Going from 2D to 3D can dramatically increase ...
