DNA strands on tiny beads hide and reveal encrypted messages through programmable fluorescence patterns read by flow cytometry.

Researchers in China have developed a new method that allows them to insert long stretches of DNA into a genome. The process, named GRAND editing, is one of a handful of new systems aimed at using two ...

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are small, single-stranded molecules that can suppress the expression of targeted genes and thereby achieve therapeutic effects. However, many ASO-based drug ...

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) and Ionis Pharmaceuticals, USA, report a modification wherein replacing the RNA strand of a heteroduplex oligonucleotide with DNA may ...

Figure 1. Schematic illustration of the spontaneous Hoogsteen pairing-based strand displacement reaction between one homo-dimolecular GQ target and dual G-rich invading probes at room temperature, ...

The pegRNA binds to a matching sequence on the target DNA strand. The Cas9 nickase cuts the unbound complementary strand, creating a flap. The dangling DNA flap binds to a matching sequence on the ...

A novel chip automates the reaction cascades occurring between molecules inside DNA to carry out complex mathematical calculations. The field of DNA computing has evolved by leaps and bounds since it ...

Moderna’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine does not alter human DNA or add a third strand to people’s DNA, as claimed in a video circulating on social media and viewed more than 400,000 times on Twitter. The ...
