DNA is not a static thing. It is constantly being folded and unfolded, a process which explains why genetically identical twins aren’t actually identical, and how our cells specialize into their various functions. Sit in on office hours as Amherst's Associate Professor of Physics Ashley Carter breaks down the mechanics of DNA folding, as well as the applications of this research in nanoengineering, epigenetics, data storage, and more!
