Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven ...

When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose above midtown one piece at a time, with each individual ...

Researchers assembled the genome and 3D chromosomal structures of a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth, the first time ever done in ancient DNA sampling, according to a press release.

A robust platform for analyzing 3D genome architecture and epigenomic features enables a deeper understanding of gene regulation in specific cell types.

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Using DNA technologies to create a new generation of tiny electronics components at low production costs: this is the main goal of the European-funded project 3D-BRICKS, coordinated by Istituto ...

Researchers have been experimenting with DNA as a construction material since the 1980s. The first 3D shapes were simple cubes, pyramids, soccer balls -- geometric shapes with coarse and blocky ...

DNA origami, a fascinating technology that uses algorithms to design self-assembling 2- and 3D nanostructures using DNA helices, has added a new member to its growing catalog: multilayered capsule ...

Previous attempts to reconstruct ancient DNA only had tiny snippets of genetic sequences. Like trying to put together a puzzle with missing pieces, the resulting DNA maps were incomplete. Thanks to ...

Researchers showed how what appears to be a tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in ...
