The fixed idea that DNA is only a molecule that stores genetic information is being challenged. KAIST researchers have ...

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 ...

Researchers in the lab of Cancer Center at Illinois (CCIL) member Xing Wang have discovered the influential role of ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

Computational chemists at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences have developed a ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technology capable of a suite of data storage and computing functions -- repeatedly storing, retrieving, computing, erasing or rewriting data -- that uses DNA rather ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School have developed a new method called PARTAGE that provides a clearer picture of how the genome is regulated and disrupted in diseases like ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a safer and more precise way to study how genes function in living tissues by refining a recently developed CRISPR-based genetic technique in fruit ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a double helix. That picture is still right, but it is no longer enough.
