Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code ...

Scientists at the University of Florida have developed a pioneering tool to bolster Florida's defenses against invasive ...

Researchers have mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

Cancer researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have discovered that ...

Cancer researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have discovered that mutations in certain genes can lead to the accumulation of DNA errors, ...

Science DNA breaks are toxic lesions for the cell. In order to repair these breaks, it is necessary, starting from the break ends, to find a homologous sequence within the vastness of the genome. In ...

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Nucleic acids are named for where they're found—inside the nuclei of cells—and for the ...

It's possible to amplify a tiny amount of genetic material into a much larger sample by providing raw nucleobases and a template DNA sample to DNA replication enzymes from bacteria. Because ...
