Zettabytes—that’s 10 21 bytes—of data are currently generated every year. All of those cat videos have to be stored somewhere, and DNA is a great storage medium; it has amazing data density and is ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...

For the first time ever, DNA was successfully sequenced in microgravity as part of the Biomolecule Sequencer experiment performed by NASA astronaut Kate Rubins this weekend aboard the International ...

Commonly used sequencing approaches do not capture full information from both genetics and epigenetics. Some of these may involve separate, parallel workflows and sequencing to produce full ...

In a recent study published in Nature Biotechnology, researchers developed a whole-genome sequencing (WGS) method that read four canonical deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) bases, viz., adenine (A), ...

At least five groups have independently invented a new class of CRISPR gene editing tools called dual base editors. The systems combine the functions and components of two CRISPR base editors, which ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

DNA strands on tiny beads hide and reveal encrypted messages through programmable fluorescence patterns read by flow ...

Genova (Italy), December 21 st 2021 - DNA digital data storage is one of the ultimate technologies that scientists are investigating to have efficient and low-cost alternatives for data storage in the ...
