(Nanowerk Spotlight) Recent developments in DNA-based nanotechnology have shown the suitability of this novel assembly method for constructing useful nanostructures. DNA molecules can serve as ...

CRISPR-Cas9 has the reputation for being “snip happy,” for cutting and cutting a genomic site until one of the cell’s DNA repair systems finally skips a beat, leaving the site imperfectly ...

Researchers from MIT, Arizona State University and Baylor University have developed a new algorithm that promises to simplify the arduous and complex task of assembling DNA into structures other than ...

The new development combines the advantages of the most advanced tools for working with genomic data. The new method will enable scientists to analyze DNA sequences faster and more accurately and ...

If you want to print something a few inches tall, extruded plastic is a good medium. But when you need something at the nanometer scale, DNA is a better bet — but who has the time to design and ...

Computer scientists at Caltech have designed DNA molecules that can carry out reprogrammable computations, for the first time creating so-called algorithmic self-assembly in which the same "hardware" ...
