Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and ...

The University of Utah says it’s worried its block U symbol isn’t distinct enough — so it’s now moving to a new logo.

Each time a cell divides, a small section of each chromosome's protective cap - the telomere - is worn away. Most cells use ...

‘Designer babies’ is one thing that comes to mind (Picture: Getty Images/Westend61) Work has begun on something once-unthinkable: creating human DNA from scratch. Artificial DNA has long been ...

A function-reconfigurable double-helix printed antenna, inspired by DNA structures, is proposed. The antenna, consisting of two metal strips printed on a substrate, was designed, optimized, and ...

The DNA double helix was first elucidated by J.D. Watson and F.H.C. Crick over a half century ago. However, no one could actually “see” the well-known structure ever. Among all real-space observation ...

Many DNA-based technologies involve the immobilization of DNA and therefore require a fundamental understanding of the DNA structure–function relationship at interfaces. We present three ...

The most famous image to emerge from 20th-century biology is the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double helix, illustrating the structure of the gene, life’s genetic material. Credit for the ...

One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double helix.
