For nearly 15 years, a man on death row in Texas has sought DNA testing to try and prove he did not kill an 85-year-old woman.

Ever wonder why tape measures are curved instead of flat? Learn why it’s shaped that way and how it helps you measure better!

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers have discovered that strand separation may take more mechanical force than the field previously believed.

Using an approach called DNA origami, scientists at Caltech have developed a technique that could lead to cheaper, reusable biomarker sensors for quickly detecting proteins in bodily fluids ...

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...

Researchers have been working on DNA-based data storage for decades, but a new template-based method inspired by our cells’ chemical processes is easy enough for even nonscientists to practice.

How can you write data to DNA without changing the base sequence? A new method lets anyone with a kit write data to DNA with just one enzyme.

Researchers saved data, including an image of a panda, using epigenetic modification to encode the data on a single strand of DNA.

Lead author of "Distinct regulation of ATM signaling by DNA single-strand breaks and APE1," Haichao Zhao offered that the research may support future clinical trials – both for attacking cancer ...

Moreover, HiDEF-seq detected changes in the DNA letter code while they were present on just one of the two strands of DNA, before they become permanent double-strand mutations.

Technology DNA nanobots can exponentially self-replicate Tiny machines made from strands of DNA can build copies of themselves, leading to exponential replication.
