Around the world, scientists are exploring an unexpected solution to the growing data crisis: storing digital information in ...

French DNA storage pioneer Biomemory has acquired rival Catalog, and told us where it sees the technology in the years ahead.

The origins of millions of tiny proteins in our bodies, previously assumed to be useless, have now been discovered. A study published on February 17 in the journal Molecular Cell describes how these ...

In the first study of its kind, the research team collected saliva samples from 1,507 Syrian refugee children, aged 6 to 19, living in informal settlements in Lebanon. They analysed DNA methylation ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a double helix. That picture is still right, but it is no longer enough.

Researchers at Karolinska Institute and SciLifeLab in Sweden report they have improved the ability of a protein to repair oxidative DNA damage and created a new protein function. Their new technique ...
