These chains come in a wide range of lengths. In humans a typical protein is about 400 amino acids long; some are a lot longer. Molecules of RNA, one of the two nucleic acids, can reach up to 100,000 ...
Earth’s most diverse biological entities are the viruses that infect bacteria, called bacteriophages (phages). They are rich ...
Since the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA and postulation of the central dogma of molecular biology, stating that the flow of genetic information goes from DNA to RNA to protein, the ...
Scientists developed a new nanostructure that triples CRISPR’s ability to enter cells, unlocking even more power to treat ...
A research team describes how they engineered an efficient new enzyme that can produce a synthetic genetic material called threose nucleic acid. The ability to synthesize artificial chains of TNA, ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A researcher in Purdue University’s College of Science is developing a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid ...
Back in the bad old days, dealing with DNA and RNA in a lab setting was often fraught with peril. Detection technologies were limited to radioisotopes and hideous chemicals like ethidium bromide, a ...
CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...
INDICAL BIOSCIENCE, a leader in veterinary molecular and immunodiagnostic solutions, announces the launch of IndiMag 2, an innovative automated magnetic bead-based nucleic acid extractor designed to ...
