For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

Kokoris came up with the idea of solving some of the noise issue of nanopore sequencing by converting DNA into larger surrogate polymers, and he cofounded sequencing company Stratos Genomics back in ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at ...

Genes exist in most cells. Inside a cell is a long strand of the chemical DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). A DNA sequence is a specific lineup of chemical base pairs along its strand. The part of DNA ...

The DEC-Tec library of drug-like molecules, each of which is attached to a unique DNA sequence that acts as a “bar code” defining its synthesis, can be incubated in a single tube with a target protein ...

Photosensitive metal complexes that are able to bind to DNA duplexes hold promise for diagnostic and therapeutic applications — but the precise details of how they interact with DNA need to be ...

From synthetic biology and gene therapy to data storage and biofuel production, the demand for synthetic DNA is rising. (1) Chemicals remove the 5’-hydroxyl protecting group. The nucleosides are rich ...

This discovery, along with the identification of other nitrogenous bases, laid the foundation for our understanding of DNA and RNA structure. Cytosine can be synthesized chemically or isolated from ...
