DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

Rebecca Schulman is a professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Hopkins who is currently working on developing new materials that both contain and process information. Schulman recently ...

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

The first DNA sequencing was performed by Sanger and co-workers in the 1970s, using a method based on the attenuation of the growing nucleotide chain with dideoxythymidine triphosphate (ddTTP). The ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio—Case Western Reserve University researchers have developed a new method of DNA testing—one they say could greatly expand its uses in medical research. The method rapidly and accurately ...

What if the smallest molecule of life became the ultimate medium for digital storage? Faced with the avalanche of data flooding the planet, researchers are exploring the physical structure of ...

Miami University’s Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics (CBFG) has become one of the first institutions in the region to acquire the PacBio VEGA Benchtop System — a cutting-edge DNA ...

Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing ...

An expanded synthetic biology platform enables the assembly of long, high-complexity DNA sequences, reducing technical barriers and supporting next-generation research in medicine, vaccines, and ...
