No "sticky ends"? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the ...

Since the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA and postulation of the central dogma of molecular biology, stating that the flow of genetic information goes from DNA to RNA to protein, the ...

Around the world, scientists are exploring an unexpected solution to the growing data crisis: storing digital information in ...

In the rapid and fast-growing world of nanotechnology, researchers are continually on the lookout for new building blocks to push innovation and discovery to scales much smaller than the tiniest speck ...

Scientists are exploring synthetic DNA as a way to store massive amounts of data. Now, University of Missouri researchers, led by Li-Qun “Andrew” Gu, are taking it a step further by developing a ...

DNA strands on tiny beads hide and reveal encrypted messages through programmable fluorescence patterns read by flow cytometry.

Scientists have been experimenting with ways to use DNA as a data storage medium, but it’s difficult to retrieve and manipulate data written to it. Now a team has developed “chemical neurons” that can ...

Researchers in Japan have identified a striking new way immune cells strip DNA out of dying neighbors, a process they call ...
