Abstract: Due to their sequential nature, traditional DNA synthesis methods are expensive in terms of time and resources. They also fabricate multiple copies of the same strand, introducing redundancy ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Abstract: Operant conditioning is a learning mechanism by which animals adapt to its external environment and past experiences. In the field of artificial intelligence, DNA strand displacement (DSD) ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

The new storage system could hold family photos, cultural artifacts and the master versions of digital artworks, movies, manuscripts and music for thousands of years, scientists say. When you purchase ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In 1976, workers excavating a tunnel for the Toronto subway system ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

Is it the invasion of the genome snatchers? Just in case the idea of aliens walking around in human skin suits wasn’t frightening enough. An outlandish study asserts that aliens might have abducted us ...

Similarly to the artistic technique of folding paper into ornate shapes, DNA origami is a self-assembling technique of precisely folding single-stranded DNA scaffolds into well-defined nanostructures.
