A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

Everyday DNA mutations can help us understand immune function and aging—and even mitigate harm caused by some inherited ...

DNA is more than just a code—it’s a beautifully precise molecular structure that holds life’s instructions. Understanding its building blocks, base pairing rules, and replication fidelity helps us ...

Researchers have used DNA origami, the art of folding DNA into desired structures, to show how an important cell receptor can be activated in a previously unknown way. The result opens new avenues for ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University and Johns Hopkins University have demonstrated a technology capable of a suite of data storage and computing functions – repeatedly storing, retrieving ...

The human brain is one of the most complex parts of the body. It controls how we think, feel, remember, and behave.

An illustration shows a strand of engineered DNA passing through a nanoscale sensor, where its physical structure can be decoded as digital information. DNA nanostructures could one day serve as ultra ...

New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our ...
