NPR's Scott Simon speaks with Martin Tenniswood about a synthetic DNA that is being used to tag pieces of art. Fine art can be faked by fine forgers, but a group of scientists have been working to ...

From giant tapestries that present maps of DNA in colorful, tactile formats, to otherworldly animations set to music, their art invites a non-scientific ... around those forms is this kind of DNA ...

The resulting structure is knitted together by a few hundred short, synthetic DNA molecules that act as staples, linking together the helices at appropriately spaced strand-exchange points.

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures of the chromosomes that make up the human genome. But where and how does the famous double helix fit into ...
