In a recent article published in Nature communications*, researchers described a technique of capturing two-dimensional (2D) light patterns into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and using high-throughput ...

Big-picture patterns of DNA packaging, gene activation and mutations could hold the information needed to develop a blood-based biopsy for small cell lung cancer patients, according to new work ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Architecture is key when designing new materials – and DNA is probably the most programmable biomaterial for creating a wide range of rationally designed and functionally enhanced ...

The DNA molecule inside the nucleus of any human cell is more than six feet long. To fit into such a small space, it must fold into precise loops that also govern how genes are turned on or off. New ...

Researchers have discovered that the human body’s 3 trillion cells aren’t clones of a single DNA sequence, as is widely believed. Instead, the cells of the human body contain a plethora of altered DNA ...
