An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...

An international collaborative research team, including scientists from UQ's Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), has discovered a novel mechanism underlying memory involving rapid changes in a specific ...

The common, two-stranded helical structure of DNA was discovered over one hundred years ago. Many researchers would go on to find that DNA molecules could form other types of secondary structures, ...

The human genome is usually formed as a double helix, but DNA can assume other configurations such as the four-stranded structure. Four-stranded DNA structures are known as G-quadruplexes (G4) and ...

DNA Replication Stalled on a G4 (IMAGE) Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Caption MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA ...
