Scientists show DNA polymerases can build long, patterned DNA without a template, opening new paths for synthetic biology and ...

Using an atomic force microscope tip as a pen and different single-stranded DNA as inks, scientists at Northwestern University have demonstrated a technique that could lead to the ultimate ...

AMES, Iowa – Scientists have been making nanoparticles out of DNA strands for two decades, manipulating the bonds that maintain DNA’s double-helical shape to sculpt self-assembling structures that ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular "letters" that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King ...

Artificial DNA letters beyond A, T, G, C break a fundamental pairing rule to produce nanostructures with new shapes, far greater durability, and an unexpected ability to self-sort.

Researchers have built DNA-based nanodevices that can identify cancer cells, latch onto them, and deliver drugs or ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

Brains are the quintessential decision-makers, gathering and weighing information before choosing a path forward. But in the natural world, many simpler systems accomplish similar tasks. Cells use ...
