Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a new study. DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...

An illustration shows a strand of engineered DNA passing through a nanoscale sensor, where its physical structure can be decoded as digital information. DNA nanostructures could one day serve as ultra ...

DNA, the genetic blueprints in every living organism, is nature's most efficient storage mechanism, capable of storing about 215 million gigabytes of data per gram. That storage capacity, if applied ...
