The twist, rise, slide, shift, tilt and roll between adjoining base pairs in DNA depend on the
identity of the bases. The resulting dependence of the double helix conformation on the …

Mutual recognition of homologous sequences of DNA before strand exchange is considered
to be the most puzzling stage of recombination of genes. In 2001, a mechanism was …

Chromatin domains formed in vivo are characterized by different types of 3D organization of
interconnected nucleosomes and architectural proteins. Here, we quantitatively test a …

Homologous pairing and braiding (supercoiling) have crucial effects on genome
organization, maintenance, and evolution. Generally, the pairing and braiding processes are …

Over the past few decades, DNA has been recognized as a powerful self-assembling
material capable of crafting supramolecular nanoarchitectures with quasi-angstrom …

Molecular recognition between two double stranded (ds) DNA with homologous sequences
may not seem compatible with the B-DNA structure because the sequence information is …

Nuclear and mitochondrial organelles must maintain a communication system. Loci on the
mitochondrial genome were recently reported to interact with nuclear loci. To determine …

Thousands of prolonged sequences of human ultra-conserved non-coding elements
(UCNEs) share only one common feature: peculiarities in the unique composition of their …

The intracellular channel of information transmission was analyzed from the point of view of
complexity. The most important steps in the transfer of information within a cell are the …

We present a general survey of experimental and theoretical observations of DNA structure
and in vitro ejection kinetics for different bacteriophage species. In some species, like T5, the …
