Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA ...

A team led by Professor Shoichiro Asayama at Tokyo Metropolitan University has synthesized a charge-free molecule designed to ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...

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 ...

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

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...

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 ...

Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...
