DNA is the genetic material used by every living organism. But, in a few edge cases, the four bases of DNA—adenine, thymidine, cytosine, and guanine—undergo chemical modifications. And in viruses, ...

Researchers explore a basic building block used in the fabrication of many DNA nanoforms. Known as a Holliday junction, this nexus of two segments of double stranded DNA has been used to form ...

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid, the molecule that carries the genetic code of all living things. It’s found in every cell and determines everything from your looks to your body functions. In ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, biosensing, DNA origami integrity reporting, and reusable mRNA detection through ...
