Researchers at universities in Yorkshire have developed videos based on high-resolution images of a DNA helix, allowing us to see \u2018dancing DNA\u2019 for the first time.<\/h2>\n
Researchers from the Universities of Sheffield, York and Leeds have captured the highest resolution images of a single DNA helix.<\/p>\n
Studies revealed that the stresses and strains placed on DNA when it is packed inside cells, can lead to it changing shape; the DNA helix adopts dance like movements, making twisting and turning movements inside a cell.<\/p>\n
