Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. In the future, electronic data storage systems could consist of complex, dense strands of DNA that has all of the readable data mapped to the genetic code.

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a new technique that uses DNA and water to create self-assembling 3D structures. This method could transform how we build microscopic electronics and ...

DNA assembly is commonly performed in the build step of the design-build-test-learn cycle at the core of synthetic biology. In many assembly workflows, DNA is assembled into gene fragments, which are ...

This week, though, a talk at a DARPA-funded event brought widespread attention to a technology that promises to make DNA synthesis thousands of times cheaper, potentially offering the first real price ...

If the printing press changed history by bringing the written word to the masses, just imagine what shake-ups a fast, reliable DNA printer could cause. A team of Duke University researchers hope to ...

DNA is the raw material of modern medicine yet is the only part of drug development not accessible at the lab bench. DNA synthesis, the first step in most biological workflows including gene synthesis ...

DNA-encoded libraries have numerous advantages over traditional screening methods, including easy identification of compounds and the large quantity of compounds that can be screened simultaneously.
