Silicon chips have powered computing for half a century. Increasingly, they are also becoming platforms to read and manipulate biology at scale—recording from many neurons, reading many DNA sequences ...

A graphic of a purple and magenta Cas9 protein, which is a somewhat round, but uneven, ball, bound to a yellow and orange strand of DNA, which is a long, thin spiral that is vertical to the protein.

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 ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding for diverse biological applications, such as proteins that form the building ...

Researchers created a proof-of-concept DNA origami device that encodes messages as nano-Morse patterns and conceals them ...

In the study of bacteria, a longstanding dogma has held that two molecular machines—RNA polymerase, which leads the way in ...

For the first time ever, DNA was successfully sequenced in microgravity as part of the Biomolecule Sequencer experiment performed by NASA astronaut Kate Rubins this weekend aboard the International ...
