Scientists show DNA polymerases can build long, patterned DNA without a template, opening new paths for synthetic biology and ...

Every geometry student is supposed to know that pi is a special number – a never-ending string of digits with no repetition, no pattern. Finding a pattern in pi would be as amazing as finding a secret ...

We examined six types of DNA templates to test the transfer and preservation of spatial information (such angles and curvature) from the original DNA templates to eventual graphene nanostructures. A ...

A previously unknown pattern in DNA methylation -- an event that affects cell function by altering gene expression -- has been uncovered for the first time by stem cell researchers, a finding that ...

*Important notice: bioRxiv publishes preliminary scientific reports that are not peer-reviewed and, therefore, should not be regarded as conclusive, guide clinical practice/health-related behavior, or ...

Less aggressive cancers are known to have an intact genome--the complete set of genes in a cell--while the genome of more aggressive cancers tends to have a great deal of abnormalities. Now, a new ...

Can DNA typing uniquely identify the source of a sample? Because any two human genomes differ at about 3 million sites, no two persons (barring identical twins) have the same DNA sequence. Unique ...
