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 developed a light-responsive artificial nucleic acid that enables reversible, controllable crosslinking within DNA, opening doors for nanomedicine, DNA nanotechnologies and drug delivery.

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

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. They have revealed a ...

A complete breakdown of the abbreviation, including its role and function within the body.

This biography of the 1962 Nobel Prize-winning scientist reveals a mighty intellect who loved the arts as much as science.
