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 ...

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

Rebecca Schulman is a professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Hopkins who is currently working on developing ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
