Every living organism has its own genetic "blueprint": the source code for how it grows, functions and reproduces. This blueprint is known as a genome. When scientists sequence a genome, they identify ...

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

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

Engineered DNA can store massive amounts of data while also encrypting it, opening the door to ultra-secure, long-term ...

A new Alzheimer's study has produced a first-of-its-kind genetic map, which could provide vital insights into the ...

Since the computer age began, storing and securing escalating data volumes has been a headache. But that problem could potentially be solved using DNA.

When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and ...

A new study suggests that an AI-assisted blood test, which measures for biomarkers, could help to identify prediabetes risk earlier.
