Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

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

Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing ...

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine learning model called AlphaGenome that can predict the function of DNA ...

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity in ways that keep us healthy—or cause disease. Exactly how this DNA shapes ...
