No "sticky ends"? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the ...

Using an atomic force microscope tip as a pen and different single-stranded DNA as inks, scientists at Northwestern University have demonstrated a technique that could lead to the ultimate ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, scientists believed that DNA strands under stress would form knots, tangling into chaotic shapes. But new research ...

Self-assembling DNA can process information, but the computations have been limited to digital algorithms. A self-assembling DNA system has now been designed to perform complex pattern recognition.

Scientists are exploring synthetic DNA as a way to store massive amounts of data. Now, University of Missouri researchers, led by Li-Qun “Andrew” Gu, are taking it a step further by developing a ...

Brains are the quintessential decision-makers, gathering and weighing information before choosing a path forward. But in the natural world, many simpler systems accomplish similar tasks. Cells use ...

Cancer genomes are the result of diverse mutation processes that have often accumulated over decades. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the Universities of Cambridge and ...
