Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...

For decades, scientists have relied on structure to understand protein function. Tools like AlphaFold have revolutionized how researchers predict and design folded proteins, allowing for new ...

Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different ...

Artificial intelligence has exploded across our news feeds, with ChatGPT and related AI technologies becoming the focus of broad public scrutiny. Beyond popular chatbots, biologists are finding ways ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...
