A breakthrough in DNA origami creates twisted and curved shapes to order.

He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

DNA origami, a fascinating technology that uses algorithms to design self-assembling 2- and 3D nanostructures using DNA helices, has added a new member to its growing catalog: multilayered capsule ...

As DNA polymerase makes its way down the unwound DNA strand, it relies upon the pool of free-floating nucleotides surrounding the existing strand to build the new strand. The nucleotides that make ...

These newly formed 3D DNA nanostructures can be applied in many research areas. The new multilayer design strategies have enabled the production of curved, closed DNA origami designs without any ...

Artificial DNA kills cancer Hairpin-shaped DNA binds with microRNA in cancer cells to trigger an immune response Date: December 21, 2022 Source: University of Tokyo Summary: Researchers have used ...

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.

Complex, curved three-dimensional DNA nanostructures can be created using new DNA origami folding techniques.

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.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have used artificial DNA to target and kill cancer cells in a completely new way.

By harnessing the self-assembling properties of DNA, researchers coerced a single strand of the genetic material to assume the shape of an octahedron.

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.
