DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

Now, researchers from UC San Diego and their colleagues have found that HPV DNA hybridizes with human DNA genes in oropharyngeal cancer cells, forming extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA) that ...

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...

Researchers optimized Takumi-shaped DNA nanostructures to form efficient hydrogels with minimal DNA units for sustained drug release and high retention abilities.

The 2024 Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research is awarded to Zhijian (James) Chen for his landmark discoveries that explain how DNA stimulates immune responses. DNA is best known as genetic ...

Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing reams of data and how to protect that information from unintended access. Now ...
