Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

An engineering researcher at RIT has discovered the means to process data using DNA. Their biocomputing design is a breakthrough that builds on innovative DNA engineering and computing system advances ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Scientists developed a light-responsive artificial nucleic acid that enables reversible, controllable crosslinking within DNA, opening doors for nanomedicine, DNA nanotechnologies and drug delivery.

James D. Watson, whose role as co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 made him one of the key figures in the rise of molecular biology as well as the obvious choice to be first ...
