DNA stores our genetic code. What if it could also be integrated with electronics to store and read other information?

From 3D genome explorers to dynamic simulations, genetics education is entering a new era of interactivity. Students can now manipulate DNA, simulate inheritance, and visualize complex bioinformatics ...

DNA’s elegant double helix isn’t just beautiful—it’s a masterclass in precision engineering. From base pairing to semi-conservative replication, every step ensures life’s blueprint is copied ...

CRISPR is a powerful DNA-editing tool that has underpinned huge advancements in human health care in the last decade. It is a precision tool, but is not perfect, and misplaced DNA edits can compromise ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would later reshape biology and our understanding of life itself. A ...

James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped launch a revolution in biology and medicine, died Thursday at age 97. He died in hospice care after a brief ...

James D. Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died. He was 97. The ...

On a foggy Saturday morning in 1953, a tall, skinny 24-year-old man fiddled with shapes he had cut out of cardboard. They represented fragments of a DNA molecule, and young James Watson was trying to ...
