DNA able to store 1TB of data in a drop

DNA has been recognized not only as the blueprint of life but also as a potential medium for digital data storage. With ...
Artist's impression of the DNA double helix structure. We are increasingly learning that these DNA strands can be unzipped to form new structures, affecting which genes are turned on and off in a ...
DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...
At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA ...
New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great ...
In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...
By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that strand separation -- the essential process a "resting" double helix ...
Creating such artificial molecular systems that match or surpass DNA in functionality is of great interest to scientists. Double-helical foldamers are one such molecular system.
Histone modification influences how histone proteins and DNA interact within chromatin subunits called nucleosomes, where the DNA double helix wraps around the core histone octamer. Modification of ...
