The fixed idea that DNA is only a molecule that stores genetic information is being challenged. KAIST researchers have ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new nanoscale tool that can capture and precisely position some of the most important ...

Researchers are using DNA 'origami' templates to control the way viruses are assembled. The global team behind the research developed a way to direct the assembly of virus capsids -- the protein shell ...

A team at Washington University traced how plants gained duplicate DNA-control enzymes that evolved into new functions, boosting their ability to handle stress. The finding shows how a single genetic ...

Researchers have explored ways to combine these materials into mixed-dimensional heterostructures that could harness the advantages of both. However, controlling the interaction between the components ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar double helix. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes under certain conditions. One such structure known as a G-quadruplex (G4) looks like a ...
