In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

The investigations of KIT researchers have shown that biomolecular condensates enable fast yet reliable activation of the right genes. “Biomolecular condensates are tiny drops that form in specific ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, a DNA-based computer that performs effectively has been created by scientists. This innovative breakthrough promises to redefine the boundaries of ...
