DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a new study. DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different ...

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

The origins of millions of tiny proteins in our bodies, previously assumed to be useless, have now been discovered. A study published on February 17 in the journal Molecular Cell describes how these ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

Following the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to the scientists who led the development of artificial intelligence (AI) models for protein design and structure prediction, such as 'AlphaFold,' ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a double helix. That picture is still right, but it is no longer enough.

In the first study of its kind, the research team collected saliva samples from 1,507 Syrian refugee children, aged 6 to 19, living in informal settlements in Lebanon. They analysed DNA methylation ...
