This is the future of DNA synthesis.
What are the steps of DNA replication
DNA replication is the basis for biological inheritance.
Genes of living descendents might solve mystery of the Inca Empire’s origin
Myths surrounding the founding of the Inca might not only be true — they also seem to be linked.
Mock lunar dust kills cultured cells, alters DNA — raising concerns about the real thing’s toxicity
Dust 2.no.
Scientists confirm weird ‘knot-shaped’ DNA structure in human cells for the first time
Forget the double-helix for a second — there are other, more interesting DNA structures out there.
The Stages of Mitosis
Divide and conquer!
Almost 40% of at-home DNA tests are inaccurate, scientists warn
At-home DNA tests are used to offer information about one’s ancestors, risks of certain diseases, and other traits, such as eye color.
Researchers develop nanospears that can transport DNA to cells with pinpoint accuracy
This new technique is less harmful to the cells and more efficient than other non-viral DNA transfer techniques.
CRISPR-Cas9 scissors can cut through both DNA and RNA
CRISPR is more like a swiss army knife now.
Scientists build electrical circuit out of four-stranded DNA
The research could inspire a novel class of microelectronics based on DNA.
Childbirth can make women’s cells age faster than smoking or obesity
Scientists discovered that having children significantly shortened telomeres (genetic markers of aging).
Alcohol byproduct causes DNA mutations that might lead to cancer
An alcohol metabolite, acetaldehyde, caused significant DNA alterations in mice stem cells.
Infant skeleton sheds new light on early Native American populations
Genome sequencing of infant found in Alaska reveals new Native American Population
Scientists turn DNA into virtually any 3D shape imaginable
The fist DNA benders!
Zipping genetic data in DNA could enable scientists to implant complex ‘programmes’ into cells
Scientists took inspiration from digital compression to ‘zip’ DNA.
A single ‘letter’ difference in their DNA made some whales huge, others sleek and predatory
That’s one really dramatic typo.
They’re everywhere on facebook, and now scientists have stored a GIF inside a living bacteria with the help of CRISPR
It’s the first time CRISPR was used to store and retrieve media from DNA.
No bones needed — researchers use DNA in soil to tell if humans were around
This can be a game changer.
Llama-like creature Darwin used to call the “strangest animal ever discovered” finally gets a family
“Imagine a camel without a hump, with feet like a slender rhino, and a head shaped like a saiga antelope.”
Where humans went, cats followed — the story of cat domestication started 9,000 years ago
From Egypt’s pyramids to Viking longboats, cats never left our side since we invented agriculture.
