(Nanowerk News) Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don’t tell you where ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Researchers at California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, Stockholm University and Uppsala University are working on a smartphone-based microscope in hopes of developing a cost-effective and accessible ...

Engineered DNA can store massive amounts of data while also encrypting it, opening the door to ultra-secure, long-term ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

A super-resolution microscopy technique offers an unparalleled glimpse into how monoclonal antibodies bind to their targets on cancer cells to induce cell death. “There is a power in seeing things,” ...
