Pictures of DNA often look very tidy—the strands of the double helix neatly wind around each other, making it seem like studying genetics should be relatively straightforward. In truth, these strands ...

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

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

DNA is the language of life, and DNA sequencing has allowed us to dive into the genetic code that evolved over the last 3.5 billion years. As sequencing has become faster and cheaper, the scale of ...
