Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

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 ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

Generative AI model designs DNA origami for any shape ...

In one sentence: DNA origami is a self-assembly technique that folds a long single-stranded DNA molecule into precisely defined nanoscale shapes using hundreds of short, computer-designed staple ...

Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. AlphaFold 3 uses the same method as AI image generators to predict how different molecules fit together.

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven are doing—constructing intricate 3D nanostructures by harnessing the ...
