Bacteria encode diverse mechanisms for antiviral defence, the majority of which degrade invading nucleic acids using either programmable, sequence-specific or non-specific nucleases 1. Also common are ...

Generative modeling offers a robust framework for designing functional DNA, RNA and protein sequences. However, physical synthesis of these sequences at scale is prohibitively expensive. We introduce ...

Thanks to a serendipitous discovery and a lot of painstaking work, scientists can now build biohybrid molecules that combine the homing powers of DNA with the broad functional repertoire of proteins - ...

DNA is the raw material of modern medicine yet is the only part of drug development not accessible at the lab bench. DNA synthesis, the first step in most biological workflows including gene synthesis ...

From synthetic biology and gene therapy to data storage and biofuel production, the demand for synthetic DNA is rising. (1) Chemicals remove the 5’-hydroxyl protecting group. The nucleosides are rich ...

A new DNA splicing method developed by a Japanese research team using silver nanoparticles offers a incredible efficiency ...

There’s an old saying about a dollar waiting on a dime. In other words, a monumental endeavor may become stuck at some point if a key preliminary element remains unavailable. The saying could be ...
