DNA could have more of a use case than just being the backbone of all living things (as if that wasn’t enough already). Scientists have known for years that DNA could store seriously vast amounts of ...

Real image of DNA molecules being copied in human cells, visualized by immunofluorescence microscopy. The yellow arrows mark where replication begins, and the white arrows indicate the direction in ...

A metagenomic study of this cloth, controversially purported to bear the imprint of the body of Jesus Christ, has little to ...

Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don't tell you where specific genetic ...

Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...

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.
