A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

DNA thin films and nanostructures represent a versatile class of materials that exploit the inherent self-assembly, molecular recognition, and programmability of deoxyribonucleic acid. Over recent ...

Romulus and Remus are the genetically modified gray wolves that Colossal Biosciences endowed with traits of the extinct dire wolf. (Credit: Colossal Biosciences) Last week, Colossal Biosciences made ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

Thought LeadersMaxim Molodtsov, Ph.D. Randhir Kumar, Ph.D. From optical trapping experiments to insights into molecular force generation, Dr. Maxim Molodtsov shared how his research is uncovering the ...

Newborn babies admitted to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) rely on the quick decisions and rapid action of the medical team responsible for them. DNA testing is critical to ...

Before the DNA revolution of the early 2000s, genealogy was a study dependent on records. Tracing a line of heritage could hit a dead end if documentation had gone missing or been destroyed. But as ...

New DNA probes allow for efficient surveying of the hidden lives of squids and octopuses in the deep sea. This development provides an effective tool for marine ecological research and conservation ...

Colombian law demands that, after rehabilitation, trafficked wildlife must be released in their original home range. But that is often difficult to determine. Researchers sequenced the DNA of Colombia ...
