A new DNA computer performed 700 computations across several experiments—without silicon or continuous energy input.

RNA and DNA are chemical cousins. But one tiny difference between them (an extra oxygen atom repeated along RNA’s backbone) ...

The DNA double helix is composed of two DNA molecules whose sequences are complementary to each other. The stability of the duplex can be fine-tuned in the lab by controlling the amount and location ...

Credit: Science Advances (2024). DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.ado8020 Northwestern investigators have demonstrated how manipulating DNA chemistry can alter its structure and flexibility and enable the ...

Since the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA and postulation of the central dogma of molecular biology, stating that the flow of genetic information goes from DNA to RNA to protein, the ...

GLP-1 research, gene editing, DNA sequencing and sleep science are among the fields tipped for the 2026 Nobel Prize in ...

Cell division is an elaborate dance shared between protein and DNA partners. This fluorescence microscope video captures the initial cell division right after fertilization of a roundworm embryo.

In the rapid and fast-growing world of nanotechnology, researchers are continually on the lookout for new building blocks to push innovation and discovery to scales much smaller than the tiniest speck ...

New molecule halts mitochondrial DNA loss before it triggers inflammation. When environmental stress harms DNA, it can set off a cascade of failures linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration and ...

A screenshot of a Google Doodle, which is drawn in light and dark purple and shows a cartoonish DNA double helix, the structure of guanine and a phosphate group, and small cartoons of a chromosome and ...
