DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

In a new take on a technology from the 1960s, this year, researchers created a cassette tape that uses DNA instead of iron oxide to encode information on a plastic tape. It can hold a phenomenal ...

Capt. Chris Leyba scrubbed a swab inside his left cheek, popped it into a plastic canister and inserted it into the RapidHIT ID machine that sits on a table in a small room at the SeaTac Police ...

FANWOOD – DNA found on a plastic gas can nozzle, traces of gasoline on a burnt slipper and a surveillance video from a house across the street led to the arrest of a 70-year-old borough man who was ...

The U.S. biotech company Atlas Data Storage has launched a synthetic DNA storage system capable of holding 1,000 times more data than traditional magnetic tape. The product, called Atlas Eon 100, ...

Scientists hunting for the DNA of famed Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci say they’ve made a breakthrough—but some experts caution against interpreting the results as a smoking gun.

In a first, scientists have extracted DNA from a Renaissance-era drawing attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, but they can't be sure that the genetic material belongs to the Italian polymath. When you ...

We’re at a rare inflection point. Robots are moving from research labs and factory floors into everyday life. Right now, they’re being dropped into human spaces and, often, missing the mark. Yet ...

Researchers suggest that they have recovered sequences from ancient works and from letters that may belong to the Renaissance genius. Historical artifacts can accumulate DNA from the environment and ...
