Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

Scientists developed a light-responsive artificial nucleic acid that enables reversible, controllable crosslinking within DNA, opening doors for nanomedicine, DNA nanotechnologies and drug delivery.

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. They have revealed a ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...

James Watson, one of the 20th century’s most famous scientists, passed away on Thursday (November 6). He was 97. Despite this, Watson was supportive of female scientists, shared Nancy Hopkins, a ...
