A spider species found only on the Canary Islands is forcing scientists to rethink long-held assumptions about how evolution ...

For centuries, the body of Leonardo da Vinci has been as elusive as his smile, his remains scattered and his grave uncertain, ...

What’s the story behind DNA melting temperature analysis? UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy can be used to assess the characteristics of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a naturally occurring polymer ...

Ansa Biotechnologies’ CEO Daniel Lin-Arlow’s passion is helping scientists do their job faster and deliver their innovation to the world. His latest solution? Enzymatic DNA synthesis. DNA writing is ...

DNA, the language of biology, is driving all synthetic biology applications, from animal-free meat to life-saving therapeutics. It should come as no surprise that DNA synthesis is a hot and ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...

Randomness inside cells can decide whether a cancer returns after chemotherapy or whether an infection survives antibiotics.

An engineering researcher at RIT has discovered the means to process data using DNA. Their biocomputing design is a breakthrough that builds on innovative DNA engineering and computing system advances ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

The DNA mutations that drive evolution are generally thought to be fairly random, but a new study suggests there’s some order to the chaos. Comparing the genomes of hundreds of plants grown in a lab, ...

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.
