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 ...

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 ...

A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the sticky cohesion of hydrogen bonding. This finding, published in Nature Communications, turns a fundamental ...

The single-stranded DNA molecules developed by researchers using the SELEX technology could transform blood testing for Alzheimer's biomarkers. These synthetic aptamers target neurofilament light ...

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 ...

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

Nowadays, there's lots of buzz about spectacular new medical treatments such as personalised cancer therapy with modified immune cells or antibodies. Such treatments, however, are very complex and ...

DNA synthesis is vital to several processes in biopharmaceutical innovation, including the development of gene therapies, CRISPR gene editing, antisense oligonucleotides and RNA therapies. The need ...

A screenshot of a Google Doodle, which is drawn in light and dark purple and shows a cartoonish DNA double helix, the structure of guanine and a phosphate group, and small cartoons of a chromosome and ...
