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 ...
Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.
Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...
A DNA nano-harvester stays on its track inside tumor cells, measuring cancer aggressiveness by detecting a key microRNA biomarker.
DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...
Researchers have identified a molecular brake that limits DNA replication in healthy cells, revealing how cells prevent a long-suspected replication catastrophe and pointing to a potential ...
For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...
Genetically speaking, it's a bacterium's worst-case scenario: During transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to its DNA template, forming a 3-stranded structure known as an R-loop. While these ...
