MADISON — Using computer simulations, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers has identified some of the pathways through which single complementary strands of DNA interact and combine ...

Artificial DNA letters beyond A, T, G, C break a fundamental pairing rule to produce nanostructures with new shapes, far greater durability, and an unexpected ability to self-sort.

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...

Simulations have led to the fabrication of a polymer-DNA gel that could be used in tissue regeneration and robotics. Simulations have led to the fabrication of a polymer-DNA gel that could be used in ...

This illustration shows proteins and DNA in the process of DNA repair. RecA proteins (gold) cradle a single-stranded DNA (brown) that searches for homology with a DNA template (purple). The template ...

Using an atomic force microscope tip as a pen and different single-stranded DNA as inks, scientists at Northwestern University have demonstrated a technique that could lead to the ultimate ...

Researchers in China have developed a new method that allows them to insert long stretches of DNA into a genome. The process, named GRAND editing, is one of a handful of new systems aimed at using two ...
