CD8 T cells are activated when their T-cell receptor (TCR) recognizes a peptide presented in the context of the cognate MHC-I molecule on an antigen-presenting cell. This interaction is a key element ...

Pictures of DNA often look very tidy—the strands of the double helix neatly wind around each other, making it seem like ...

If whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is like clicking through a DVD frame by frame, and if fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is like scanning the scene-selection menu, a new technology may offer ...

Cell biologists and chemists reveal how viral DNA traffics in human cells. They have developed a new method to generate virus particles containing labeled viral DNA genomes. This allowed them to ...

DNA contains foundational information needed to sustain life. Understanding how this information is stored and organized has been one of the greatest scientific challenges of the last century. With ...

As illustrated with OnScreen Gene Transcription in our May 1 column, OnScreen Science now has a few very nice iPad apps to teach students about DNA and RNA. The OnScreen DNA Model app was the original ...

We report carbon nanotube network field-effect transistors (NTNFETs) that function as selective detectors of DNA immobilization and hybridization. NTNFETs with immobilized synthetic oligonucleotides ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This machine is an automated DNA/RNA ...
