Chemists have demonstrate that they can repurpose DNA to create new substances with possible medical applications. DNA evolved to store genetic information, but in principle this special, chain-like ...
In a Perspective, researchers propose that modified nucleobases, which are different from the canonical nucleobases that make up DNA and RNA, could have stabilized a variety of short RNA molecule ...
Scientists at the University of Alberta in Canada have developed a technology that can dramatically improve the specificity of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. The approach uses synthetic guide molecules ...
A new paper published in Nature Biotechnology this week titled, “Template-independent enzymatic synthesis of RNA oligonucleotides,” provides details of a method for synthesizing single-stranded RNA ...
The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. RNA transcription isn’t a fully continuous process; ...
(Nanowerk News) DNA evolved to store genetic information, but in principle this special, chain-like molecule can also be adapted to make new materials. Chemists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI ...
