Researchers have succeeded in developing a DNA-based molecular controller. Crucially, this controller enables the autonomous assembly and disassembly of molecular robots, as opposed to manually ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...

DNA, the language of biology, is driving all synthetic biology applications, from animal-free meat to life-saving therapeutics. It should come as no surprise that DNA synthesis is a hot and ...

A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair faulty sections of their DNA. Published online May 16 in the journal Cell, the report describes the ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed "molecular movie" showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level – revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying ...

When it comes to the field of scientific advancement, few have managed to connect art and science as seamlessly as Zhaowen Luo. As a scientific visualization engineer at St. Jude Children's Research ...

Researchers from Tohoku University and Kyoto University have successfully developed a DNA-based molecular controller that autonomously directs the assembly and disassembly of molecular robots. This ...
