He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered ...

DNA analysis is crucial for identifying individuals and their relatives, using technologies like PCR, electrophoresis, and fingerprinting.

What is DNA, and how does it work? You don't need a degree in genetics to understand. Here, we'll give an overview of DNA and answer questions like these: What does DNA stand for? What is it made ...

Artificial intelligence can read data stored in DNA strands within 10 minutes rather than the days required for previous methods, bringing DNA storage closer to practical use in computing. “DNA ...

Now you can buy what may be the first commercially available book written in DNA. Today, Asimov Press debuted an anthology of biotechnology essays and science fiction stories encoded in strands of ...

Researchers have been working on DNA-based data storage for decades, but a new template-based method inspired by our cells’ chemical processes is easy enough for even nonscientists to practice.

Conventional methods for encoding data into DNA strands involve making custom DNA sequences from scratch. Scientists call this process "de novo synthesis." This technique is labor-intensive, slow, ...

Researchers have developed a tool that can bend DNA strands using light. The work represents a new way to probe the genome. Shown here, from an unrelated study, are chromosomes (blue) inside a ...

It’s these strict base-pairing properties of DNA -- A with T, and C with G -- that the researchers have co-opted. By designing DNA strands with specific sequences, they can “program” the strands to ...

Various DNA manufacturing technologies have emerged to give synthetic biology companies what they need to revolutionize the life sciences.
