As illustrated with OnScreen Gene Transcription in our May 1 column, OnScreen Science now has a few very nice iPad apps to teach students about DNA and RNA. The OnScreen DNA Model app was the original ...

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven are doing—constructing intricate 3D nanostructures by harnessing the ...

Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don’t tell you where specific genetic ...

New York, NY--March 19, 2020--Columbia Engineering researchers, working with Brookhaven National Laboratory, report today that they have built designed nanoparticle-based 3D materials that can ...

Coastal Genomics, experts in life sciences automation, selected Sculpteo, a leader in online 3D printing and digital manufacturing, to develop unique components for an automated DNA purification ...

Researchers mapped the organization of human retinal cell chromatin, the fibers that package 3 billion nucleotide-long DNA molecules into compact structures that fit into chromosomes within each ...

A 3D-printed polyester rabbit has been embedded with DNA that contains a blueprint for printing additional bunnies. Using the information, researchers have replicated the rabbit several times, ...

Wherever you go, you leave behind a little bit of yourself. Hair, skin flakes, your saliva on a coffee cup or cigarette. How much information do these traces hold? What if it was possible to recreate ...
