Protein-DNA interactions and protein-mediated DNA compaction play key roles in a range of biological processes. The length scales typically involved in DNA bending, bridging, looping, and compaction (≥1 kbp) are challenging to address experimentally ...
The clustering of death receptors (DRs) at the membrane leads to apoptosis. With the goal of treating tumours, multivalent molecular tools that initiate this mechanism have been developed. However, DRs are also ubiquitously expressed in healthy tissu...

Accurate and efficient molecular recognition plays a crucial role in the fields of molecular detection and diagnostics. Conventional trial-and-error-based molecular recognition approaches have always been challenged in distinguishing minimal differen...
Nanopore sequencing platforms combined with supervised machine learning (ML) have been effective at detecting base modifications in DNA such as 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and N6-methyladenine (6mA). These ML-based nanopore callers have typically been tra...
Nucleotide-based molecules called DNA and RNA are essential for several biological processes that affect both normal and cancerous cells. They contain the critical genetic material needed for normal cell growth and functioning. The DNA structure patt...
Extracellular vesicle (EV) molecular phenotyping offers enormous opportunities for cancer diagnostics. However, the majority of the associated studies adopted biomarker-based unimodal analysis to achieve cancer diagnosis, which has high false positiv...
Rare tautomeric forms of nucleobases can lead to Watson-Crick-like (WC-like) mispairs in DNA, but the process of proton transfer is fast and difficult to detect experimentally. NMR studies show evidence for the existence of short-time WC-like guanine...
DNA sequencing with the quantum tunneling technique heralds a paradigm shift in genetic analysis, promising rapid and accurate identification for diverging applications ranging from personalized medicine to security issues. However, the widespread di...
