Researchers have found a way to extract and read otter DNA without ever laying a hand on the animals. By collecting environmental DNA, or eDNA, from snow tracks, water samples, and even the air, ...

On Monday, a paper announcing that all four DNA bases had been found on an asteroid sparked a lot of headlines. But many of ...

Scientists are exploring DNA-based robots, tiny molecular machines that could one day navigate the body, deliver targeted therapies, and even build nanoscale technologies.

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new way to precisely place quantum light sources on chips ...

JAXA samples reveal that asteroid Ryugu has a complete set of nucleobases, the building blocks of DNA.

A newly identified cellular system monitors subtle variations in genetic coding, hinting at a hidden level of control over how genes are expressed.

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

RNA vaccines saved millions of lives during COVID-19 but have limitations like waning immunity and complex production. Scientists are now testing a new platform called DoriVac, which uses folded DNA ...

Chemists created a strange 'half-Mӧbius' molecule, where electrons twist freely out of place to make a continuously looping ...
