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

Scientists are exploring DNA-based robots, tiny molecular machines that could one day navigate the body, deliver targeted ...

Scientists are turning DNA into tiny robots that can move, sense, and deliver drugs, pushing nanotechnology closer to ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

The Potential of DNA as a Building Block for NanomachinesImagine DNA robots traveling through the bloodstream to deliver drugs, targeting specific ...

CRISPR is a powerful DNA-editing tool that has underpinned huge advancements in human health care in the last decade. It is a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.
