Researchers explore a basic building block used in the fabrication of many DNA nanoforms. Known as a Holliday junction, this nexus of two segments of double stranded DNA has been used to form ...

Scientists from the RNA Institute at the University of Albany (UAlbany) have developed new methods for designing and assembling DNA nanostructures that enhance their potential for use in various ...

Like its viral cousins, a somewhat parasitic DNA sequence called a retrotransposon has been found borrowing the cell's own machinery to achieve its goals. In a new work appearing online Wednesday in ...

In the world of biomolecules, none is more iconic, nor more versatile than DNA. Nature uses the famous double-helix to store the blueprints of all living forms, drawing on a four-letter alphabet of ...
