Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily.

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

A team led by Professor Shoichiro Asayama at Tokyo Metropolitan University has synthesized a charge-free molecule designed to sneak plasmid DNA into living cells via hydrogen bonding, dramatically ...

Scientists developed a charge-free polymer-DNA complex that boosts cellular DNA uptake 14-fold in mice, avoiding the harmful inflammation caused by current methods.

The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

A complete breakdown of the abbreviation, including its role and function within the body.

映画『ジュラシック・パーク』には、恐竜の血を吸った直後に樹液に包まれて琥珀に閉じ込められていた蚊からDNAを取り出し、太古の昔に絶滅した恐竜を復活させるシーンが描かれている。そんな印象的なシーンからヒントを得て、このほどDNAを常温で保存 ...
