Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

DNA synthesis is vital to several processes in biopharmaceutical innovation, including the development of gene therapies, CRISPR gene editing, antisense oligonucleotides and RNA therapies. The need ...

A new technology elucidated yesterday in the journal Nature has the potential to be a leap forward in DNA synthesis, allowing ...

A study on how aging impacts the brain in killifish has found that getting old selectively impairs the production of some key DNA- and RNA-binding proteins. And this change contributes to hallmarks of ...

Illinois biochemistry professor Satish Nair and his colleagues discovered a new class of DNA-protein hybrids and determined the mechanisms by which they are formed in bacterial cells. The findings ...

Despite these advances, the synthesis of DNA nanostructures has remained a largely manual and time-consuming process. Traditional approaches often require the precise mixing of hundreds of unique DNA ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...
