We now have billions of identical copies of a stretch of DNA 2,000 to 4,000 base pairs long. From these we need to create copies with special bases that our machines will be able to read. Instead of ...

DNA replication is a complicated affair: Proteins must identify where on DNA to start replicating, unwind the double helix, synthesize a primer, and then elongate the DNA strand from the end of that ...

Researchers have applied photolithographic techniques from the computer chip industry to enzymatic DNA synthesis, and thus developed a new method to multiplex the superior DNA writing ability of ...

32 P-label is introduced by incoming dGT 32 P molecule. The arrows indicate the sites of enzymatic hydrolysis. The bases of the template DNA strand are designated as clear boxes, and the bases in the ...

The best enzyme for de novo DNA synthesis may be one that is denied all its enzymatic attributes. Yes, it acts on a specific substrate. Yes, it catalyzes a chemical reaction. No, it does not exit the ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have turned a longstanding challenge in DNA data storage into a tool, using it to offer users previews of stored data files - such as thumbnail ...

The immune response to an H5N1 avian influenza vaccine was greatly enhanced in healthy adults if they were first primed with a DNA vaccine expressing a gene for a key H5N1 protein, researchers say.
