DNA data storage has recently entered a new phase of development, as scientists in ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...

A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward mimicking nature’s tiniest gateways by creating ultra-small pores that rival the dimensions of biological ion channels—just a few atoms wide. The breakthrough ...

LINE-1 retrotransposons are mobile genome parasites that drive cancer evolution by reshuffling the host genome.

DNA strands on tiny beads hide and reveal encrypted messages through programmable fluorescence patterns read by flow cytometry.

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Scientists are exploring synthetic DNA as a way to store massive amounts of data. Now, University of Missouri researchers, led by Li-Qun “Andrew” Gu, are taking it a step further by developing a ...

DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...
