Scientists have invented a major new advance in DNA nanotechnology. Dubbed 'single-stranded origami,' their new strategy uses one long, thin noodle-like strand of DNA, or its chemical cousin RNA ...

Two-dimensional strandness-dependent electrophoresis (2D-SDE) separates nucleic acids in complex samples according to strandness, conformation and length. Under the non-denaturing conditions of ...

Short circular DNA nanotechnology. Comparatively, short circular DNA nanotechnology is created following a series of circularization steps that convert the short linear template strand into a ...

Sometimes the lagging strand synthesis stops, but the leading strand continues to grow. This shows up as a dark area in the glowing strand, because the dye doesn't stick to single-stranded DNA.

Every time one of your cells divides, it exposes its most essential component to great danger: its genome, the sum total of all its genetic information, embodied in the double-stranded helix of DNA.

For the first time, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have watched single strands of DNA being prepped for repair. The research, published this week in the journal Nature, has ...

Sometimes the lagging strand synthesis stops, but the leading strand continues to grow. This shows up as a dark area in the glowing strand, because the dye doesn’t stick to single-stranded DNA. “We’ve ...

Posted: Dec 14, 2017: Single-stranded DNA and RNA origami go live (Nanowerk News) Nanotechnologists are using DNA, the genetic material present in living organisms, as well as its multifunctional ...
