Examples that highlight the building of biomolecular assemblies with MDNA: extension of DNA structures (left), using proteins as scaffold to generate DNA structure (centre), and connecting two DNA ...

Scientists in Australia are using cutting-edge DNA techniques to help save one of the world’s rarest marsupials — the critically endangered Gilbert’s potoroo, with fewer than 150 left in the wild. By ...

If you haven't seen the latest Java developer productivity report from Perforce, you should check it out. Written by Perforce CTO Rod Cope and developer tools exec Jeff Michael, the "2025 Java ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists as part of a DNA-protein complex known as chromatin. For this purpose, the ...

Scientists have discovered that a sample collected from the Ryugu asteroid by the Hayabusa 2 spacecraft contains the five nucleobases adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil, the building ...

DNA aptamers are short, single-stranded DNA molecules that bind specifically to a range of targets such as proteins, cells, and small molecules. Typically, they are utilized in the development of ...

Only a few years ago, Tuesday’s announcement that a glove believed to be connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie in Tucson, Arizona, had no match in a DNA database would have been a dead end.

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would later reshape biology and our understanding of life itself. A ...

Genetic instability is a hallmark of aging and disease. Z-DNA has been implicated in the etiology of age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s and cancer. We have previously shown that Z-DNA can ...

The human topoisomerase IIIα–RMI1–RMI2 complex (TRR) is important for resolving entangled DNA structures known as ultrafine anaphase bridges (UFBs) during mitosis. Recent evidence suggests that this ...
