DNA dominates life on Earth, but modern chemistry and evolutionary theory suggest it may be only one possible solution for biology. Scientists have already demonstrated alternative genetic systems in ...

A trio of researchers working at the School of Life Sciences, Tsinghua-Peking Center for Life Sciences, has chemically synthesized a mirror-image of Pfu DNA polymerase. In their paper published in the ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a safer and more precise way to study how genes function in living tissues by refining a recently developed CRISPR-based genetic technique in fruit ...

Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

The Delaware’s DNA: 2025 Life Science Conference returns on Thursday, May 8, at the Chase Center on the Riverfront – Wilmington. Hosted by the Delaware BioScience Association, the event will convene ...

DNA can voyage along intercellular highways called tunneling nanotubes. It’s a phenomenon that could potentially spread tumor DNA to healthy cells.

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a safer and more precise way to study how genes function in living tissues by refining a recently developed CRISPR-based genetic technique in fruit ...

Early experiences in an animal's life can have a significant impact on its capacity to thrive, even years or decades later, and DNA methylation may help record their effects. In a study of 256 wild ...

Plasmid DNA can be used across an extensive range of applications. Therefore, ensuring the supply is purified in the right way is crucial for every given situation. Analytik Jena‘s CyBio FeliX Liquid ...
