The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution.

Infections particular to our genome may have helped drive human-specific traits — plus, using heat to power DNA computers.

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 ...

DNA that humans acquired from ancient viruses plays a key role in switching parts of our genetic code on and off, a new study has found. Nearly half of the human genome consists of segments called ...

As many DNA datasets are openly accessible online, the study warns it is possible for cybercriminals to misuse the information for surveillance, manipulation, or malicious experimentation. Dr Anjum ...

Bell Labs scientists assemble their tweezer motor from DNA with two double-stranded arms connected by a singled-stranded hinge, and single-stranded "handles" at the ends of the arms. MURRAY HILL, New ...
