Scientists develop DNA nanorobots capable of modifying artificial cells. Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have ...

The shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form ...

Used in the design of products and architecture, shape grammar rules are planning tools that help manipulate shapes to fit within defined rules to generate a new design. Because DNA's makeup is ...

Scientists have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of 'DNA origami'. The system they developed may facilitate the transportation of large ...

RNA is the molecule that reads the genetic information stored in DNA. It's critical for the proper functioning of cells, and in a new study scientists have discovered a way of tagging RNA with a ...

LingVitae AS in Oslo is approaching the nanopore problem from another angle—converting DNA into 'design polymers' to make sequencing easier (see Box 1). The theoretical potential of nanopore ...

BIOS/UEFI vulnerabilities in the iSeq 100 DNA sequencer from U.S. biotechnology company Illumina could let attackers disable devices used for detecting illnesses and developing vaccines.

For the first time ever, scientists have captured a single DNA molecule replicating on video — and it’s changing the way we think about the entire process. One of the most surprising findings ...

Just as the name suggests, DNA origami is a fabrication technique wherein researchers fold DNA strands to create precisely shaped 2- and 3-dimensional nanostructures. These highly programmable ...
