In a new study, scientists have identified a small molecule candidate drug that triggers the formation of left-handed Z-DNA in cells that in turn activates a highly immunogenic programmed pathway of ...

In 1979, Alexander Rich, PhD, and his colleagues solved the structure of a self-complementary DNA hexamer and discovered that the molecule formed a left-handed double helix (Z-DNA). (Credit: Journal ...

Researchers from HSE University and Sber Artificial Intelligence Lab are using AI to predict the location of DNA fragments in the genome which can flip over and form a mirror structure known as Z-DNA.

Approximately 13% of the human genome at certain motifs have the potential to form non-canonical (non-B) DNA structures (e.g. G-quadruplexes, cruciforms, and Z-DNA), which regulate many cellular ...

A small molecule induces Z-DNA formation in tumors to activate an inflammatory cell-death pathway that is expressed in the cells supporting growth of the cancer cell. The resulting immune response is ...

Scientists have identified sequences in great apes' DNA capable of forming unconventional structures called non-B DNA. These configurations appear to play a key role in regulating cellular processes ...

Jay-Z may or not have an illegitimate son roaming around the world somewhere. Rymir Satterthwaite claims he is Jay-Z’s secret child and has filed a court order for DNA testing. “I just want to live my ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid, the molecule that carries the genetic code of all living things. It’s found in every cell and determines everything from your looks to your body functions. In ...
