Future data centers might do away with banks of hard drives and switch to a storage medium that nature has been using for billions of years – DNA. In a major step towards making that a reality, ...

Overview of the DNA Palette encoding scheme: (a) Raw data: Brain MRI data. (b) Illustration of the DNA Palette encoding process: The DNA Palette code establishes a bijection between binary sequences ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

In a new study, stem cell scientists at the Lund University, Sweden, explore the role of non-coding regions of the genome—previously deemed to be functionless “junk” DNA—and find humans and ...

Researchers at the University of Washington (UW), and at Microsoft, have developed a DNA-based molecular tagging system, called Porcupine, which they say could offer a cost-effective alternative to ...
