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 ...

Researchers have provided new insights into how bases in a single DNA strand stack on top of each other 1. This may open up possibilities for building complex nanodevices and deciphering fundamental ...

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 ...

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.

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

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.

Researchers at the Life Sciences Center of Vilnius University have developed a microscopy-based method that allows scientists ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

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 ...

Each year, zettabytes of data are produced globally, which is comparable to the number of stars in the observable universe. This number is increasing at a rapid pace, and in 2025, global yearly data ...
