Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

With the landmark discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA came the appreciation that the molecule’s two entwined strands are complementary — each serving as a template for the other during ...

DNA data storage has recently entered a new phase of development, as scientists in ...

DNA strands on tiny beads hide and reveal encrypted messages through programmable fluorescence patterns read by flow cytometry.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...

Cancer genomes are the result of diverse mutation processes that have often accumulated over decades. Scientists have analyzed the molecular evolution of tumors after exposure to mutagenic chemicals.

New research from a team of genome scientists and DNA damage response experts breaks new ground in understanding the function of a protein currently limited in clinical trials for cancer treatments.

Plectonemes are the analog of the twisted tangles of telephone cords, and can form in DNA that is pulled through a nanoscale channel. They are called plectonemes. They are the analog of the twisted ...
