Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don't tell you where specific genetic ...

Real image of DNA molecules being copied in human cells, visualized by immunofluorescence microscopy. The yellow arrows mark where replication begins, and the white arrows indicate the direction in ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to switch genes on and off with exquisite precision. The latest work on ...

A 'biological camera' bypasses the constraints of current DNA storage methods, harnessing living cells and their inherent biological mechanisms to encode and store data. This represents a significant ...

The human ORC complex when fully assembled is ring-shaped, as shown in these images at atomic resolution, secured via x-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. Bottom image: DNA (grey) fits ...

Scientists created shapeshifting DNA robots that react to acidity, opening paths to smart drug delivery, pollution cleanup, and advanced data storage. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University of ...
