DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

Scientists developed a light-responsive artificial nucleic acid that enables reversible, controllable crosslinking within DNA, opening doors for nanomedicine, DNA nanotechnologies and drug delivery.

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

What if the smallest molecule of life became the ultimate medium for digital storage? Faced with the avalanche of data flooding the planet, researchers are exploring the physical structure of ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

Albrecht Kossel's Nobel Prize-winning research unveiled the chemical basis of heredity, shaping modern genetics and molecular ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...
