PETERBOROUGH, N.H. – In an unusual breakthrough at New York University's department of chemistry, researchers have been able to turn DNA into a molecular machine that can assemble polymer chains one ...

Three meteorites contain the molecular building blocks of DNA and its cousin RNA, scientists recently discovered. A subset of these building blocks had been detected in meteorites before, but the rest ...

The DNA strands used in applications such as the polymerase chain reaction, DNA sequencing, and DNA data storage are typically made using nucleoside phosphoramidite building blocks. These ...

Mitochondria are the energy suppliers of our body cells. These tiny cell components have their own genetic material, which triggers an inflammatory response when released into the interior of the cell ...
