The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs)—dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP. Cells constantly need these molecules ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

The development of DNA-/RNA-based drugs, like COVID-19 vaccines, is exploding. Current methods are costly, but researchers are finding effective and inexpensive method for producing stable, modified ...

Filling a test tube with molecules made from folded DNA can work as a simple computer. The approach has been used to split two numbers into prime factors. Conventional computers work by passing ...
