Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held assumption in genetics research. What researchers once thought were knots ...

Diagrams: Short section of DNA, 1951 -- Chemical structures of the DNA bases, 1951 -- Covalent bonds of the sugar-phosphate backbone -- Schematic view of a nucleotide -- Mg** ions binding phosphate ...

Japanese researchers have identified all five nucleobases that make up DNA and RNA in pristine samples from asteroid Ryugu, returned by the Hayabusa2 mission. The finding supports the idea that life's ...

Artificial DNA letters beyond A, T, G, C break a fundamental pairing rule to produce nanostructures with new shapes, far greater durability, and an unexpected ability to self-sort. But the four-letter ...

A new DNA-based molecular computer from KAIST operates at 0.34nm, combining logic and memory in a reusable system and pointing toward future biological computing.
