Researchers have provided new insights into how bases in a single DNA strand stack on top of each other 1. This may open up possibilities for building complex nanodevices and deciphering fundamental ...
New 'cassette tape' made of DNA has the capacity to store 36 petabytes of data, which could change the future of digital ...
Commonly used sequencing approaches do not capture full information from both genetics and epigenetics. Some of these may involve separate, parallel workflows and sequencing to produce full ...
DNA is known to keep its form for centuries, and the researchers found that their tape could store data for more than 345 ...
For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...
Scientists from the RNA Institute at the University of Albany (UAlbany) have developed new methods for designing and assembling DNA nanostructures that enhance their potential for use in various ...
This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...
Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...
DNA is well known as the blueprint of life, necessary for an organism to facilitate living processes. DNA can be damaged by various factors such as radical metabolites, radiation, and some toxic ...
DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...
Many people lather up with sunscreen or cover up with hats to protect themselves from the sun’s harmful rays. These added layers help to shield the skin from ultraviolet (UV) light, which damages DNA ...
