Revolutionary novel method can manipulate the shape, packing of DNA: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
A human cell contains around 2 metres of DNA, which contains an individual's important genetic information. If all the DNA contained within a single person were unwound and stretched out, it would cover an astonishing distance - enough to reach the sun and back 60 times over. The cell compac
