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.

Scientists are turning DNA into tiny robots that can move, sense, and deliver drugs, pushing nanotechnology closer to ...

Big-picture patterns of DNA packaging, gene activation and mutations could hold the information needed to develop a blood-based biopsy for small cell lung cancer patients, according to new work ...

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 ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular "letters" that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...

Marvel at the tiny nanoscale structures emerging from labs, and it's easy to imagine you're browsing a catalog of the world's smallest pottery: itty-bitty vases, bowls, and spheres. But instead of ...
