Our cells' identity is shaped by DNA tags called methylation. New tech, scDEEP-mC, maps these tags in single cells with ...

Come take a stroll along one of London’s most charming riverside paths. Strand-on-the-Green, opposite Kew, is ridiculously ...

The Universe’s most abundant ice isn’t formless—it’s secretly laced with crystals. And that might change how we think about ...

Ice found in the vast reaches of space isn't as simple as previously thought. Contrary to long-held assumptions, new research ...

Look inside a brain cell with Huntington's disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like clusters, thought to be irreversible, can act as sponges that soak up ...

“With the help of proteins known for their role in DNA repair, RNA binds to the DNA strand opposite the G4 structure, forming a structure called a ‘G-loop’,” stated first author Koichi ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that strand separation - the essential process a "resting" double helix ...

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

Previously, a similar approach to making biosensors was developed using a single DNA strand rather than a DNA origami structure.

The sequences are not random. A lot of structure in natural language is also informal; it can be ambiguous, and it’s changing all the time. In the same way, DNA sequences have some ambiguity. The same ...

Credit: Kateryna Kon/Science Photo Library/ 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 ...

According to one estimate, each DNA strand could last over two million years at normal freezer temperatures. Unlike previous DNA computers, the data can be erased and replaced like memory on classical ...
