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.

Somewhere in a plastics factory, a woman coughed, setting off a chain of events that has led to questions about DNA evidence in three local crime cases. Evidence analysts at the Tucson Police ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar double helix. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes under certain conditions. One such structure known as a G-quadruplex (G4) looks like a ...

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

Our DNA is arranged into chromosomes that carry a kind of protective shield at their ends, called telomeres. These protective caps are crucial to the stability of chromosomes, and when telomeres ...

Neural networks are computing systems designed to mimic both the structure and function of the human brain. Caltech researchers have been developing a neural network made out of strands of DNA instead ...
