For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

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 ...

Long before modern medicine named and cataloged human herpesviruses, at least one of them was already quietly embedding ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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

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 ...

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