Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...

Scientists have gained tremendous control over the genome with CRISPR editing systems, that use a guide RNA molecule to ...

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily. So for ...

On November 13, 2025, Google users in India were greeted with a smart twist when Google’s iconic logo had transformed into a DNA-themed Doodle. The Doodle, which first appeared in the United States in ...
