Researchers have made DNA storage rewritable, overcoming one of its biggest limitations. The breakthrough could turn DNA into a practical alternative to today’s energy-hungry data centers. The post ...

Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated—able to read not only the ...

Scientists traced Leonardo da Vinci’s Y chromosome through living relatives, a breakthrough that may confirm his true burial ...

Talk about being a dedicated paw-rent. When his 8-year-old dog Rosie had mere months to live due to deadly mast cell cancerous tumors, Australian tech entrepreneur Paul Conyngham took matters into his ...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing ...

The tiny Amazon molly (Poecilia formosa) has always fascinated researchers because, according to the rules of evolution, it shouldn't have survived as a species, let alone thrive as a species for over ...

A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...

Purdue University researcher Emily Dykhuizen explores how cancer takes advantage of the machinery that surrounds DNA to evade the immune system, resist conventional therapies, and spread through ...
