Delft University of Technology Jan 17 2025 Scientists from Delft, Vienna, and Lausanne discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction. Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make loops into DNA could move in one direction only. The discovery, which is published in Cell , is key to understanding how these motors shape our genome and regulate our genes. Connecting DNA "Sometimes, a cell needs to be quick in changing which genes should be
