DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates ...

YAHOO.COM - Sixty years after scientists described the chemical code of life — an interweaving double helix called DNA — researchers have found four-stranded DNA is also lurking in human cells. The ...

For decades, scientists believed the essence of life was written solely in four chemical bases: A, C, T, and G. Together, ...

By shuttling silver and mercury between binding sites in DNA, scientists make the molecule switch conductance levels like a ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The exponential growth of global data is outpacing conventional storage technologies, driving interest in alternative approaches. DNA offers an exceptionally high theoretical ...

US researchers create microscopic DNA “flowers” that mimic life, folding and unfolding to adapt and deliver medicine.

DNA data storage is a big deal. Partly, it's because we're based on DNA, and any research into manipulation of that molecule will pay dividends for medicine and biology in general -- but in part, it's ...

Genes are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that are located inside every human cell. The DNA inside each cell is tightly coiled in structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a ...
