Scientists at Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Australia have described two new species of fungi, Peziza austroechinospora and ...

Studying endangered animal species without disturbing them and disrupting their natural habitat could be highly advantageous, ...

A newly identified cellular system monitors subtle variations in genetic coding, hinting at a hidden level of control over how genes are expressed.

This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...

More than 2.3 million ancient genetic switches discovered in plants reveal how key growth controls endured 300 million years ...

Scientists have uncovered an enormous hidden archive of plant DNA that has endured for more than 400 million years. By comparing hundreds of plant genomes, researchers identified more than 2.3 million ...

Zettabytes—that’s 10 21 bytes—of data are currently generated every year. All of those cat videos have to be stored somewhere, and DNA is a great storage medium; it has amazing data density and is ...

Scientists are exploring DNA-based robots, tiny molecular machines that could one day navigate the body, deliver targeted therapies, and even build nanoscale technologies.

Plants are usually seen as stationary life forms, quietly supporting environments. But plant communities and populations are ...
