An INRS team discovers a new family of enzymes capable of inducing targeted cuts in single-stranded DNA . A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the ...

A new family of enzymes enables precise cuts in single-stranded DNA, offering powerful new tools for genetic engineering and expanding possibilities in biotechnology. (Nanowerk News) A few years ago, ...

Figure 1. Design and synthesis of circAMO . (a) Synthesis of a single-molecule ring by rigid regulation of selectivity; (b) Schematic diagram of circAMO design; (c) Synthesis of circAMO; (d) ...

Similarly to the artistic technique of folding paper into ornate shapes, DNA origami is a self-assembling technique of precisely folding single-stranded DNA scaffolds into well-defined nanostructures.

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving electrical measurement precision and enabling detection of subtle structural changes ...
