Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

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

Here's what we know about the South Florida DNA lab chosen over Quantico to analyze evidence in the Nancy Guthrie abduction.

Scientists have a solid understanding of what makes up spindles — the cellular machinery that separates chromosomes — but are less certain about how the building blocks of spindles, called ...
