(Agnes Noy/Catley et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 2026) If you could peer inside a cell's nucleus, you would find DNA tightly ...

A new DNA computer performed 700 computations across several experiments—without silicon or continuous energy input.

A droplet of salty water full of DNA strands added, multiplied and divided numbers by settling into the right answer as it ...

A record player-like microscope and computer simulations solve a longtime mystery, showing that metal ions bridge DNA strands that would normally repel.

Metal ions bridging the grooves of two DNA helices explain how they lock together, the first direct look at the DNA zipper ...

To you or me, a tiny drop of water looks ordinary. There seems to be nothing special about it. However, some researchers see ...

DNA can be more than just a double helix. When four strands are folded into a compact bundle, they form a G-quadruplex (G4).

Researchers are exploring how DNA–protein hydrogels can turn molecular information into mechanical and functional properties ...

The ATR–ATRIP kinase complex safeguards genome integrity by coordinating cellular responses to DNA damage and replication stress. Two recent cryo-EM studies resolve the structural basis of ATR–ATRIP ...

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) represent a critical form of damage in which both strands of the DNA helix are severed. If left unrepaired or misrepaired, DSBs can lead to chromosomal translocations, ...

Researchers have engineered Detectrons, toehold-switch biosensors coupled to retron reverse transcription, that convert ...
