DNA nanostructures can perform some of the complex robotic fabrication process for manufacturing and self-replication. Building things and performing work with nanorobots has been a major technical ...

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 ...

BioEcho Life Sciences, the biotechnology company delivering rapid and sustainable nucleic acid extraction products, announces the EchoLUTION FFPE DNA Kit release, for an innovative way to extract DNA ...

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 ...

DNA origami, a fascinating technology that uses algorithms to design self-assembling 2- and 3D nanostructures using DNA helices, has added a new member to its growing catalog: multilayered ...

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 ...

Beef jerky and some woolly mammoths have at least one thing in common: Drying turns their DNA into super-tough glass. This glassy DNA is so stable that it preserved the three-dimensional structure of ...
