When a gene is turned on in a cell, it creates a ripple effect along the DNA strand, changing the physical structure of the ...

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 ...

Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...

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 ...

Cancer genomes are the result of diverse mutation processes that have often accumulated over decades. Scientists have analyzed the molecular evolution of tumors after exposure to mutagenic chemicals.

A graphic of a purple and magenta Cas9 protein, which is a somewhat round, but uneven, ball, bound to a yellow and orange ...

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 ...

Zettabytes—that’s 10 21 bytes—of data are currently generated every year. All of those cat videos have to be stored somewhere, and DNA is a great storage medium; it has amazing data density and is ...
