Restriction enzymes are one of the most important tools in the recombinant DNA technology toolbox. But how were these enzymes discovered? And what makes them so useful? Aa Aa Aa When I come to the ...

Life as we know it wouldn’t exist without enzymes. These tiny proteins, found in every living organism, are the catalysts ...

The discovery of restriction enzymes began with a hypothesis. In the 1960s, Werner Arber observed a dramatic change in the bacteriophage DNA after it invaded these resistant strains of bacteria ...

The $150 test usually gives people results in less than two weeks but experts warn that the information might be “harmful” to ...

For this reason, compared with all previously available methods, it is much easier to ‘program’ CRISPR-Cas9 at a particular cutting point on the DNA strand. Various types of endonucleases – enzymes ...

Mitochondria are vital to energy production in cells and so play a key role in fueling cancer growth. However, how ...

DNA stores the instructions for life and, along with enzymes and other molecules, computes everything from hair color to risk of developing diseases. Harnessing that prowess and immense storage ...

Adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) has been identified as a regulator of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) activation in response to nucleic acids, according to a recent study.

Folded, origami-like DNA attached to a glass surface, as shown in this illustration, store data for fast, rewritable DNA-based computation. Credit: Adapted from ACS Central Science 2024, DOI: 10. ...

In the era of big data, global mass data flow has presented data storage systems with a looming challenge. As DNA has incredibly high storage density – a single gram of DNA can store 215,000 terabytes ...
