DNA can last for many centuries. A new DNA storage technology works in the laboratory with parallelizable writing processes and fast reading technology. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) not only carries ...

Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...

Following a double-strand DNA break, an enzyme called PARP1 helps hold the two strands together —like superglue— and creates a safe zone for other proteins to come repair the damage. We don’t exactly ...

For decades, scientists believed that DNA strands under stress would form knots, tangling into chaotic shapes. But new research led by the University of Cambridge shows otherwise: when put under ...
