In eukaryotic cells, chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA can also be found in the chloroplasts and mitochondria, and inside the cytoplasm in the form of plasma. DNA molecules consist of nucleotides ...

Although synthetic processes inspired by life’s chemistry are inherently messy and complex, they may yet yield to bioengineers’ attempts to impose order. For example, engineers have been reporting ...

Chemists integrated computer functions into rolling DNA-based motors, opening a new realm of possibilities for miniature, molecular robots. These DNA-based motors combine computational power with the ...
