What is DNA, and how does it work? You don't need a degree in genetics to understand. Here, we'll give an overview of DNA and answer questions like these: What does DNA stand for?

So how does your DNA know when it's in a blood cell versus an olfactory cell, for example? How does it know which genes need to be "switched on"? How does a cell know and carry out its function?

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution.

DNA sequencing has been advancing at an exponential rate -- how? And why should we care if that trend continues?

It’s been more than 50 years since James Watson and Francis Crick showed that DNA is a double helix of two strands that complement each other. But how does a short piece of DNA find its match, out of ...

During DNA replication, the unwinding of strands leaves a single strand vulnerable. How does the cell protect these strands from damage? How would you identify the protein that serves as a connector ...

Each person's DNA hasa SNP occurringalong it at about every 300 nucleotides on the average therefore making a total of about 10 million SNPs in the genome.

Scientists at this company look at DNA like a blueprint. Here’s how it’s helping criminal investigators track down suspects in North Carolina.
