Single-molecule experiments reveal that one SauUSI restriction enzyme dimer from Staphylococcus aureus acts as an ATP-driven ...

Most microscopes can only illuminate objects down to a certain size before tiny features blur together. This blurring is known as the diffraction limit of light. Super-resolution imaging techniques, ...

In recent years, technologies that allow scientists to study a person's DNA at single-molecule resolution have vastly expanded our knowledge of the human genome, the microbiome, and the genetic basis ...

Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...

AI-designed proteins improved targeted DNA insertion in cultured cells, with one variant doubling the performance of an ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

Death does not make DNA disappear. Long after the heart has stopped and the brain has lost function, genetic material can remain inside cells and tissues. What changes is the environment around it: ...

Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...

A new review argues that oxidized mitochondrial DNA acts as both a persistent inflammatory signal and a potential biomarker ...

Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...
