A joint research team has developed an automated design technology that enables the creation of DNA origami structures that exactly match user-drawn shapes using generative AI. The generative design ...

The intricate process of duplicating genetic information, referred to as DNA replication, lies at the heart of the transmission of life from one cell to another and from one organism to the next. This ...

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven are doing—constructing intricate 3D nanostructures by harnessing the ...

Researchers at universities in New York and Ningbo, China, say they have created tiny robots built from DNA that can reproduce themselves. Such nanorobots could one day launch search-and-destroy ...

DNA nanostructures can perform some of the complex robotic fabrication process for manufacturing and self-replication. Building things and performing work with nanorobots has been a major technical ...

The spatial organization of the genome is essential for its functions, including gene expression and chromosome segregation. Phase separation and loop extrusion have been proposed to underlie ...

If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...

The way DNA folds inside the nucleus of brain cells may hold the key to understanding a devastating form of brain cancer called glioblastoma, suggests a new preclinical study from Weill Cornell ...

For decades, scientists believed a fertilized egg’s DNA began as a shapeless mass, only organizing itself once the embryo switched on its genes. But new research reveals that the genome is already ...

The genome is more than a linear code; it is a dynamic structure whose three-dimensional folding dictates how genes are regulated. Traditional sequencing technologies capture base-level variation but ...

A team of Chinese scientists has uncovered a hidden 3D structure in rice DNA that allows the crop to grow more grain while using less nitrogen fertilizer. The finding, published in Nature Genetics by ...
