A breakthrough by researchers at Peter Mac will allow scientists to detect, analyze and profile cancer tumors in patients via a simple blood test. The Dawson lab at Peter Mac has developed a method ...

A joint research team has developed an automated design technology that enables the creation of DNA origami structures that ...

Open-access databases such as the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) contain more than 2.4 million bacterial genomes, and this number continues to grow rapidly. Until now, searching these vast ...

CRISPR—Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats—is the microbial world’s answer to adaptive immunity. Bacteria don’t generate antibodies when they are invaded by a pathogen and then ...

Scaffolded DNA and RNA origami is a technique that allows scientists to build tiny, highly precise two- and three-dimensional ...

If you are one of the millions around the world who launched into a personal journey to discover your ancestry, you know how addictive the process can become. With a seemingly unlimited set of ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution. A scientist examines a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) profile on ...

A full DNA computer is a step closer, thanks to a new technology that could store petabytes of data in DNA for thousands or even millions of years. The system can also process data, as demonstrated by ...
