Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

DNA strands on tiny beads hide and reveal encrypted messages through programmable fluorescence patterns read by flow cytometry.

DNA data storage has recently entered a new phase of development, as scientists in ...

Plectonemes are the analog of the twisted tangles of telephone cords, and can form in DNA that is pulled through a nanoscale channel. They are called plectonemes. They are the analog of the twisted ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

A gel held together entirely by interlocking DNA rings exhibits mechanical properties unlike any conventional gel, driven purely by topology.

An INRS team discovers a new family of enzymes capable of inducing targeted cuts in single-stranded DNA . A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the ...

Similarly to the artistic technique of folding paper into ornate shapes, DNA origami is a self-assembling technique of precisely folding single-stranded DNA scaffolds into well-defined nanostructures.

Researchers at the University of Missouri announced on March 1, 2026, that they are developing what they describe as a ...
