Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...

The DNA of some viruses doesn’t use the same four nucleotide bases found in all other life. New work shows how this exception is possible and hints that it could be more common than we think. All life ...

DNA has tremendous potential as a data storage medium, but the process of synthesizing DNA from scratch is time-consuming. It has to be done one nucleotide at a time in a specific sequence. New ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution. A scientist examines a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) profile on ...

Mitochondria are often described as the cell’s power plants, but a wave of new research suggests their genetic material may ...

Nucleotides are essential components of a wide range of cellular processes; therefore, the maintenance of these levels through various metabolic pathways is crucial for adequate cellular function. The ...

The state of DNA synthesis is a bit like humanity’s journey to the moon—just because something has been achieved before doesn’t mean we should cease figuring out how to do it better.” That is how ...
