Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...

New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their ...

Work has begun on something once-unthinkable: creating human DNA from scratch. Artificial DNA has long been an ethical minefield, with fears of a generation of ‘designer babies’ with pick ‘n’ mix ...

“Random DNA” is naturally active in the one-celled fungi yeast, while such DNA is turned off as its natural state in mammalian cells, despite their having a common ancestor a billion years ago and the ...

The much-heralded Human Genome Project was a huge milestone for science, but most of that genetic blueprint came from one man from Buffalo, N.Y. On Wednesday, May 10, 2023, scientists announced they ...

Chemists can now precisely control the stereochemical sequence of synthetic polymers using similar techniques to those used ...

Scientists have hit a major milestone in a 15-year project trying to build a completely synthetic yeast genome. Reporting in a bumper crop of new papers, the team has engineered viable yeast cells ...

Karina Carneiro’s story is a testament to creativity and representation. Like something out of a science fiction novel, Carneiro’s lab at the University of Toronto is designing biomaterials out of DNA ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have developed an experimental drug that repairs DNA and serves as a prototype for a new class of ...
