Current genetic sequencing techniques can provide much information about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or a drop of blood. But they are unable to reveal where ...

A 'biological camera' bypasses the constraints of current DNA storage methods, harnessing living cells and their inherent biological mechanisms to encode and store data. This represents a significant ...

A set of microscopic crystals like the one above used to freeze the structure of an active enzyme helped Rice University scientists uncover the mechanism in a polymerase that helps direct the ...

UPTON, NY—The proteins that drive DNA replication—the force behind cellular growth and reproduction—are some of the most complex machines on Earth. The multistep replication process involves hundreds ...

Scientists created shapeshifting DNA robots that react to acidity, opening paths to smart drug delivery, pollution cleanup, and advanced data storage. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University of ...
