A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University and Johns Hopkins University have demonstrated a technology capable of a suite of data storage and computing functions – repeatedly storing, retrieving ...

Researchers have used DNA origami, the art of folding DNA into desired structures, to show how an important cell receptor can be activated in a previously unknown way. The result opens new avenues for ...

The human brain is one of the most complex parts of the body. It controls how we think, feel, remember, and behave.

New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our ...

An illustration shows a strand of engineered DNA passing through a nanoscale sensor, where its physical structure can be decoded as digital information. DNA nanostructures could one day serve as ultra ...

Everyday DNA mutations can help us understand immune function and aging—and even mitigate harm caused by some inherited ...

In Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass," Alice is stuck in a never-ending race with the Red Queen yet never gains a lead. "It takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place," the ...
