Scaffolded DNA and RNA origami is a technique that allows scientists to build tiny, highly precise two- and three-dimensional ...

Silver nanoparticles provide a more efficient way to cut and assemble DNA, improving recovery rates and boosting DNA joining ...

Open-access databases such as the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) contain more than 2.4 million bacterial genomes, and this number continues to grow rapidly. Until now, searching these vast ...

A new tool to predict the chances of successfully inserting a gene-edited sequence of DNA into the genome of a cell, using a technique known as prime editing, has been developed by researchers at the ...

Large-scale DNA assembly stands as a foundational pillar in synthetic biology, empowering genomic engineering capabilities from targeted modifications to de novo genome synthesis. This technique ...

CRISPR—Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats—is the microbial world’s answer to adaptive immunity. Bacteria don’t generate antibodies when they are invaded by a pathogen and then ...

DNA is composed of long chains that act as the blueprint for living organisms. In genetic engineering, scientists cut DNA at specific sites and join the resulting fragments to other DNA sequences, ...
