Encoding information in DNA has long seemed like a promising way to secure data for the long term, but so far it has required an expert touch.

(p)ppGpp, through its interaction with RNA polymerase, aids in managing replication conflicts and facilitates the loading of ...

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Nucleic acids are named for where they're found—inside the nuclei of cells—and for the ...

a process that requires a DNA strand to be synthesized from scratch. This approach is slow and many orders of magnitude more expensive than electronic data storage, says Albert Keung, a synthetic ...

A novel discovery in the field of pancreatic cancer treatment has been unveiled, revealing the epigenetic silencing of BEND4 ...

Methylation is a process by which enzymes add a methyl group (a molecule comprised of one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms) to certain sites on the DNA strand. This allowed the team to ...
