DNA aptamers are powerful molecular tools in biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutics. However, a limited understanding of ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

Using DNA as smart LEGO bricks, scientists are building the next generation of tiny tech that could change computing, ...

Small changes in the structure of DNA have been implicated in breast cancer and other diseases, but they've been extremely difficult to detect -- until now. Using what they describe as a 'chemical ...

The mystery, which has evaded scientists for more than five decades, can be explained with rather simple chemistry, according to a study published Wednesday in Nature. In lab experiments, scientists ...

DNA, often thought of as the molecule of life, is an ideal building block for nanotechnology because they self-assemble, snapping together into shapes based on natural chemical rules of attraction.

Cancer cells are notoriously flexible, taking on new features as they move around the body. Many of these changes are due to ...

Two researchers say that Rosalind Franklin knowingly collaborated with James Watson and Francis Crick to discover the molecular structure of DNA.

But a novel technique is allowing us to peer back further than DNA's expiration date in Africa, to answer long-standing ...
