In the rapid and fast-growing world of nanotechnology, researchers are continually on the lookout for new building blocks to push innovation and discovery to scales much smaller than the tiniest speck ...

Researchers from New England Biolabs (NEB®) and Yale University describe the first fully synthetic bacteriophage engineering ...

Britain has become home to the first major investment project looking to write human DNA completely from scratch, attracting both great excitement and grave concern from the scientific community.

Seth Shipman (right), Alejandro González-Delgado (left), and their colleagues at Gladstone Institutes closely examined never-before-tested retrons, bacterial defense systems that can be leveraged for ...

Scientists detected all five nucleobases -- building blocks of DNA and RNA -- in samples returned from asteroid Bennu by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission. Japanese collaborators detected all five nucleobases ...

It's been two years since the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft returned home with exactly 4.3 ounces (121.6 grams) of ...

DNA nanostructures assembled in ionic liquids instead of magnesium become stable in biological conditions and bind cancer-cell markers with higher precision. (Nanowerk News) DNA nanostructures are ...

Japanese collaborators detected all five nucleobases — building blocks of DNA and RNA — in samples returned from asteroid Bennu by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission. Asteroids, small airless bodies within the ...
