Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and functions inside living cells, revealing the physical structures that control when and how genes are switched on.

Scientists found that DNA’s phosphate groups can direct chemical reactions to make the correct mirror-image form of drug molecules. This breakthrough simplifies chiral drug production, reducing waste and energy use.

Artificial intelligence can design toxins that evade security controls. A team at Microsoft says it used artificial intelligence to discover a "zero day" vulnerability in the biosecurity systems used to prevent the misuse of DNA. These screening systems ...

What if your body’s age wasn’t just the number of birthdays you’ve had? Scientists are now exploring a new way to track the passage of time inside your cells—by measuring how unpredictable certain patterns in your DNA become as you grow older.
