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

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

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 ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

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

Researchers are embarking on the RNA equivalent of the Human Genome Project, including sequencing all the chemical ...

Major depression is not only a crisis of mood, it is also a crisis of biology that reshapes the brain itself. As genetic ...

"By cleverly combining new techniques for analyzing DNA at the level of individual molecules, we can achieve real breakthroughs in research into conditions such as dementia," predicts Professor John ...

One of the most important milestones in modern science, does April 25 also mark the date of an intellectual heist? As has been well-documented, a third person contributed to the discovery — the ...
