Around the world, scientists are exploring an unexpected solution to the growing data crisis: storing digital information in ...

No "sticky ends"? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the ...

Investigators have turned to genetic genealogy in a bid to track down a suspect in the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy ...

Our DNA is arranged into chromosomes that carry a kind of protective shield at their ends, called telomeres. These protective caps are crucial to the stability of chromosomes, and when telomeres ...

In an era where digital data explodes exponentially, researchers at Arizona State University (ASU) are turning to the building blocks of life for solutions. A new pair of studies reveals how DNA can ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar double helix. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes under certain conditions. One such structure known as a G-quadruplex (G4) looks like a ...

Neural networks are computing systems designed to mimic both the structure and function of the human brain. Caltech researchers have been developing a neural network made out of strands of DNA instead ...
