For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

An international team, including researchers from HSE University, has created the first comprehensive map of ...

Despite these advances, the synthesis of DNA nanostructures has remained a largely manual and time-consuming process. Traditional approaches often require the precise mixing of hundreds of unique DNA ...
