DNA is the blueprint for life. Could it also become the template for making a new generation of computer chips based not on silicon, but on an experimental material known as graphene? To the right is ...

DNA is the blueprint for life. But could it also become the template for making a new generation of chips based not on silicon, but on graphene? That's the theory behind a process developed by ...

As part of an effort to build a nanoscale DNA sequencer, scientists from IBM are drilling nano scale holes in computer like chips and passing DNA strands through them in order to read the information ...

Roche and IBM announced today an agreement to develop a nanopore-based sequencer that will directly read and decode human DNA. Focused on advancing IBM’s recently published “DNA Transistor” technology ...

When the Human Genome Project finished sequencing the first human genome earlier this decade, the price tag for the endeavor had reached almost $3 billion. Now, IBM has announced details of its effort ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.
