Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the information-carrying molecule found in all living organisms. In most animal, plant and fungal cells DNA is stored in the nucleus coiled up in thread-like ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

Using lasers, they applied different amounts of force to mimic the tension DNA normally experiences during replication or proofreading to experimentally promote these enzymatic functions. Then, by ...

Breakthrough study in Nature Materials reveals DNA nanorafts reshape synthetic cells for controlled membrane dynamics and ...

During DNA replication, the complementary base pairing ensures faithful copying of the genetic material. In RNA, cytosine also pairs with guanine. However, RNA is typically single-stranded and serves ...

A study reveals DNA and RNA epigenetics work together as a complementary system for precise gene regulation, crucial for cell ...

DNA nanorobots can alter artificial cells Date: January 13, 2025 Source: Universitaet Stuttgart Summary: Scientists have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes ...

The new work raises new questions: Could synthetic platforms—such as DNA nanorobots—be designed with less complexity than their biological counterparts, which would nevertheless function in a ...

Fully artificial DNA structures for biological environments "This means that we can use DNA nanorobots to design the shape and configuration of GUVs to enable the formation of transport channels ...
