Scientists at TU Delft and the Max Planck Institute have made a new class of structurally adaptable ‘mechanical’ pores made from DNA that can transport molecules through cell membranes. These ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation is the first step in DNA replication. This breakthrough, published in Nature ...

Scientists at the University of Vienna have achieved a significant milestone in DNA technology, introducing a breakthrough that expands the color spectrum available for DNA-based images. Traditionally ...

There’s an old saying about a dollar waiting on a dime. In other words, a monumental endeavor may become stuck at some point if a key preliminary element remains unavailable. The saying could be ...
