Inside cells, DNA twists and coils itself into a variety of different secondary structures—including i-motifs (iMs) and ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...

A study scanned genomes from over 450,000 people to find individuals who carry rare archaic versions of DNA changes once thought universal in humans. The research shows that some high-profile ...

Scientists are collecting DNA from the Arctic Ocean to create a better map of climate change and environmental health ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient paper-folding art of origami. More recently, some of these teams started ...

Researchers have analyzed a sample of DNA believed to belong to Adolf Hitler, which they say reveals the dictator of Nazi Germany had a genetic marker for a rare disorder that can delay puberty, ...

The NovaSeq X Plus is a half-ton machine that looks like an industrial freezer, with a big touchscreen on top and racks to hold cartridges of chemicals below. Its job is to simultaneously sequence 128 ...

DNA from a tossed cigarette butt led investigators to a suspect in a 2023 burglary at a Columbia Falls tractor dealer, prosecutors say. Michael Jack Bothman, 49, faces felony counts of theft and ...
