Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA – its genome – and segregate it equally ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Silicon chips have powered computing for half a century. Increasingly, they are also becoming platforms to read and ...

In in vitro DNA-based data storage, modern DNA synthesizers are used to synthesize DNA strands by concatenating the four DNA nucleotides, namely adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymidine (T ...

An engineering researcher at RIT has discovered the means to process data using DNA. Their biocomputing design is a breakthrough that builds on innovative DNA engineering and computing system advances ...

Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...
