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 ...

Researchers introduced a yeast enzyme, ScURA, into human cells, enabling nucleotide synthesis independent of mitochondrial ...

DNA synthesis is vital to several processes in biopharmaceutical innovation, including the development of gene therapies, CRISPR gene editing, antisense oligonucleotides and RNA therapies. The need ...

“We have come up with a novel way to synthesize DNA that harnesses the machinery that nature itself uses to make DNA,” study coauthor Sebastian Palluk, a biomolecular engineering doctoral student who ...

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 ...

Nucleotide synthesis-the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA-is essential for cell growth and division.

Despite these advances, the synthesis of DNA nanostructures has remained a largely manual and time-consuming process. Traditional approaches often require the precise mixing of hundreds of unique DNA ...
