If you've seen a representation of a DNA molecule, you've seen the double helix, in which two strands of genetic material are wound together and linked by bonds. In the laboratory, scientists have ...

Two thin strands wound together in a spiraling helix: This is the iconic shape of a DNA molecule. But sometimes, DNA can form a rare quadruple-helix, and this odd structure may play a role in diseases ...

After two years of failure, Griffith finally found an answer. Using a delicate technique that he describes as “more witchcraft than science,” he began spraying his DNA samples with a thin coating of ...

The deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA, the molecular system that carries the genetic information of living organisms, can transcribe and amplify information using its two helical strands. Creating such ...

Nanowires are vital components for future nanoelectronics, sensors, and nanomedicine. To achieve the required complexity, it is necessary to control the position and growth of the metal chains on an ...

DNA Day is approaching on April 25th. To celebrate, we are highlighting this conversation that took place during The State of Genomics & NGS Summit this past February. In it, GEN’s John Sterling and ...

A new paper based on long-lost documents confirms that DNA discoverer Rosalind Franklin should be credited for discovering the double helix. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material found in nearly all living organisms. It carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all ...

While many makers of COVID-19 diagnostics have reeled in their once-lofty projections for test sales this year—thanks to the widespread and growing availability of the coronavirus vaccines—Helix, for ...

Yesterday morning Helix, an early player in the consumer genomics field, announced the launch of its DNA Product Studio. The tool aims to boost the development of new genomics apps and tests for Helix ...

The synthesized double-helical monometallofoldamers exhibiting controllable chirality switching can lead to the development of novel artificial supramolecular systems for molecular information ...
