Abstract: The slow development of traditional computing has prompted the search for new materials to replace silicon-based computers. Bio-computers, which use molecules as the basis of computation, ...

Important biological processes, including DNA replication, transcriptional initiation and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, rely on reactions in which RNA invades a DNA double helix to form a hybrid called an ...

New research from a team of genome scientists and DNA damage response experts breaks new ground in understanding the function of a protein currently limited in clinical trials for cancer treatments.

Fairy knots: Sounds like one of 2024's biggest hair trends, right? Not so much—and those who know the truth understand they're as pesky and mischievous as their namesake. “Also known as single-strand ...
