If the engines of DNA replication stay in high gear all the time, they eventually stall or even break down. Fortunately, these engines, which consist of protein complexes, have what could be called ...

An international team of scientists has recently developed a novel type of nano engine made of DNA. It is driven by a clever mechanism and can perform pulsing movements. The researchers are now ...

Rare hereditary diseases can be identified in patients and specific mutations in tumour cells detected – DNA sequencing revolutionised biomedical research decades ago. In recent years, new sequencing ...
