When it comes to storing images, DNA strands could be a sustainable, stable alternative to hard drives. Researchers at EPFL are developing a new image compression standard designed specifically for ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

Scientists have captured the highest-resolution images ever taken of DNA, revealing previously unseen twisting and squirming behaviors. Deoxyribonucleic acid, otherwise known as DNA, can be ...

In a recent article published in Nature communications*, researchers described a technique of capturing two-dimensional (2D) light patterns into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and using high ...

This step could lead to the ability to stretch DNA molecules in specific locations on electronic chips, which is critical in harnessing the storage capacity of DNA for future computers. "We don't want ...

Carefully twirl the skewer to extract the strand of DNA. (Image credit: Genetic Science Learning Center) Why you did what you did: 1. Why did I have to swish so long? First you had to collect ...

A process to replicate mirror-image DNA could offer a much easier route to making the aptamers, says Sven Klussmann, Noxxon Pharma’s chief scientific officer. Through the looking-glass.

Researchers at Purdue University have precisely placed strands of DNA on a silicon chip and then stretched out the strands so that their encoded information might be clearly read, two steps ...
