Yards of DNA are packed into cells by wrapping the DNA around proteins called nucleosomes. But that tight packing makes it hard for the cell's machinery to get at the DNA code to read, copy or ...

A type of DNA computer that shows results through the motion of tiny beads could massively increase the parallel processing power of such machines. DNA computers take up less space than silicon-based ...

Cornell researchers have answered a fundamental question about how two strands of DNA separate to start a process called replication, in which genes copy themselves. The research examined the role of ...

DNA can last for many centuries. A new DNA storage technology works in the laboratory with parallelizable writing processes and fast reading technology. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) not only carries ...

Named after the two-faced god, newly developed Janus nucleic acid recognition elements target double-stranded DNA or RNA by engaging both strands at once. When strung together within a single-stranded ...
