The DNA double helix is composed of two DNA molecules whose sequences are complementary to each other. The stability of the duplex can be fine-tuned in the lab by controlling the amount and location ...
Researchers in Lithuania present the molecular structure of a new, more-versatile CRISPR system for gene editing. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here ...
Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far ...
DNA has tremendous potential as a data storage medium, but the process of synthesizing DNA from scratch is time-consuming. It has to be done one nucleotide at a time in a specific sequence. New ...
Researchers use some custom electronics to turn DNA copying on and off by changing the voltage. Nanopore sequencing like this, or Oxford Nanopore's approach (glue an exonuclease to the pore, feed your ...
A team of scientists created a new gene-editing tool that they claim is more accurate than the industry standard, CRISPR. Researchers from the University of Sydney, Australia, developed what is called ...
Like their viral cousins, retrotransposons have been found borrowing the cell's own machinery to achieve their goals. They hijack a little-known piece of the cell's DNA repair function to close ...
This image illustrates the chemical structures of the five main nucleobases found in DNA and RNA. The pyrimidines, thymine (DNA), uracil (RNA), and cytosine are shown on top while the purines, adenine ...
The new storage system could hold family photos, cultural artifacts and the master versions of digital artworks, movies, ...
