The recipe for a computer chip of the future may read something like this: Take some wires. Add DNA. Stir. In an advance that might provide a practical method for making molecular-size circuits, the ...

In 2020, as scientists around the world were racing to understand COVID-19, Prof. Roy Bar-Ziv and his team at the Weizmann Institute of Science started developing a DNA chip that could not only ...

Scientists show how stem cells process DNA with speed and precision, revealing principles that could lead to programmable DNA-based chips for biotechnology and medicine. (Nanowerk News) In the human ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Researchers from Institute of Science, Tokyo, have developed a light-sensitive probe that crosslinks with 5-formylcytosine (5fC), a key epigenetic intermediate, enabling its detection in target DNA.

(Phys.org)—NEC is working on a DNA analyzer that is the size of a suitcase, portable enough to be taken to crime scenes. The NEC analyzer integrates all steps required in DNA analysis. By 2014, NEC ...
