AUSTIN (KXAN) – A team at the University of Texas at Austin researching storing data on DNA has uncovered a new method for recovering damaged data. They are just some of the researchers around ...
This is the first ever scanning electron microscope image of a strand of DNA, and it shows the structure of the minuscule string of molecules that encodes all life. It’s tiny—that little scale ...
Every time one of your cells divides, it exposes its most essential component to great danger: its genome, the sum total of all its genetic information, embodied in the double-stranded helix of DNA.
Scientists have captured the highest-resolution images ever taken of DNA, revealing previously unseen twisting and squirming behaviors. Deoxyribonucleic acid, otherwise known as DNA, can be ...
Scientists have “painted” with DNA, creating 16 million colors to accurately reproduce digital images with 24-bit color depth. The resulting images are incredible, and represent not just a new ...
Though scientists have learned much about DNA damage and repair over the past 50 years, important outstanding questions remain. One particularly bedeviling puzzle is how a repair protein called the ...
To understand the UTMB researchers' work, it helps to picture DNA strand separation during replication as analogous to the opening of a zipper. ... scouting for single-strand DNA damage.
DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts in DNA provides information for building an organism. What’s not captured by this analogy is the fact that our DNA ...
