DNA, long known as the molecule that carries genetic information, is taking on a new role in science. Researchers now see it ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A Tokyo team built a neutral PEG-DNA complex that boosted gene expression in mouse muscle, avoiding cation-linked inflammation.

Australian scientists have discovered that DNA barcoding can be used to track cancer cells in solid and liquid biopsies, empowering future research into more reliable breast cancer diagnosis and ...

No “sticky ends”? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the sticky cohesion of hydrogen bonding. This finding, published in Nature ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding for diverse biological applications, such as proteins that form the building ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed an innovative testing strategy for mesothelioma that could potentially increase the detection rate of cancer DNA in the blood. This approach focuses on shuffled ...

The puzzle seems impossible: take a three-billion-letter code and predict what happens if you swap a single letter. The code we’re talking about—the human genome—stores most of its instructions in ...
