Researchers achieved a new development in their studies in this new publication focusing on nano-sized robots that came from a DNA's design, now concentrate on doing wonders for biological ...

When the cells inside your body lay down new tracks of DNA, they work hard not to deviate from the original blueprint—too many mistakes could lead to cancer or other diseases. Biologists synthesizing ...

DNA molecules have been shown to be excellent substrates for the design and construction of mechanical molecular devices that sense, actuate and exert functions when exposed to external signals 1. DNA ...

Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...

A team of physicists working at the intersection of theory and experiment are shedding new light on the 'teamwork' of molecular motors -- called RNA polymerases (RNAPs) -- that mediate DNA ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

With Rapid DNA machines, genetic fingerprinting could become as routine as the old-fashioned kind. But forensic experts see a potential for misuse. By Heather Murphy BENSALEM, Pa. — They call it the ...
