Researchers are embarking on the RNA equivalent of the Human Genome Project, including sequencing all the chemical ...

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

You walk through a field of wheat, ryegrass, or clover and notice the sway of stems and leaves. What you cannot see is where most of the action happens.

RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...

Human environmental DNA is ubiquitous in air, soil and water samples and can be traced to individuals, demonstrating new scientific possibilities but raising ethical concerns around consent with eDNA ...

The Gilgo Beach murder case is moving toward a trial, but two defense requests are slowing things down. Rex Heuermann's attorneys are asking for more time as they challenge something called nuclear ...
