Using DNA as smart LEGO bricks, scientists are building the next generation of tiny tech that could change computing, medicine, and more.

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Researchers at Arizona State University successfully applied microcrystal electron diffraction, or MicroED, to determine the structure of DNA. The results have been published in the journal ...

Neural networks are computing systems designed to mimic both the structure and function of the human brain. Caltech researchers have been developing a neural network made out of strands of DNA instead ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed.

DNA aptamers are powerful molecular tools in biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutics. However, a limited understanding of ...

Innovative study of DNA's hidden structures may open up new approaches for treatment and diagnosis of diseases, including cancer.

James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...

DNA minicircles and advanced imaging techniques reveal first step to untangle DNA We typically picture DNA as the straight double helix structure, but inside cells, DNA exists in supercoiled loops.

Rosalind Franklin was excluded from the Nobel Prize that was awarded for the discovery of DNA's structure.
