Two new studies from Johns Hopkins University are providing scientists with an unprecedented view of how human cells repair one of the most dangerous forms of genetic damage: a break that severs both ...

Two researchers stand side by side in a lab, looking closely at a microscope and connected microfluidic equipment used to measure molecular forces. width=640 srcset= 1000w, 400w, 770w, 768w ...

Most microscopes can only illuminate objects down to a certain size before tiny features blur together. This blurring is known as the diffraction limit of light. Super-resolution imaging techniques, ...

Scientists have observed DNA molecules overcoming electrical repulsion to zip together. Positively charged metal ions act as ...

In recent years, technologies that allow scientists to study a person's DNA at single-molecule resolution have vastly expanded our knowledge of the human genome, the microbiome, and the genetic basis ...

Researchers developed fluorescent dyes that reveal DNA packing in living cells and could help scientists study changes linked to cancer.

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

An essential cellular enzyme successfully transcribed synthetic DNA letters, bringing expanded genetic codes closer to biological use.

Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...

As molecule complexity rises, advanced cell line development platforms are giving biopharma companies new tools to overcome ...

Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...
