“Truly Incredible” – Princeton Researchers Have Discovered a New Method To Reshape the Fabric of Life

From SciTechDaily

Scientists used light-activated droplets to reposition DNA, offering new insights into gene expression and disease treatment.

With the flick of a light, researchers have discovered a method to reshape the fabric of life, folding DNA strands back on themselves to reveal the material nature of the genome.

Scientists have long debated the physical nature of chromosomes – structures located deep within cells, made up of long DNA strands tightly wound around millions of proteins. Do they act more like a liquid, a solid, or something in between?
