Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

"Complex chemical processes are essential for making DNA." This long-held assumption in the field of biotechnology has been ...

ASK me what a genome is, and I, like many science writers, might mutter about it being the genetic blueprint of a living creature. But then I’ll confess that “blueprint” is a lousy metaphor since it ...

A new paper published today (April 24) in the journal Nature by an international team of 279 scientists led by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew presents the most up-to-date understanding of the ...

Delaware has seen a 65% increase in new biotechnology companies over the past decade, according to a recent report by the Delaware BioScience Association and the Delaware Prosperity Partnership. This ...

DNA Script, the programmable biology company developing next-generation enzymatic DNA synthesis (EDS) technologies, today ...

In most modern cells, DNA stores the genetic blueprint, and proteins replicate, repair and build from those blueprints. At ...

Early experiences in an animal's life can have a significant impact on its capacity to thrive, even years or decades later, and DNA methylation may help record their effects. In a study of 256 wild ...

Newborn mice neurons can snap both DNA strands to migrate, then repair the breaks within a day. The process may be a normal part of brain development.

The microbial toxin colibactin has just the right shape to snuggle up to DNA — but its embrace is unfortunately more cancerous than cozy. Colibactin is produced by bacteria in the gut and causes ...

The Delaware’s DNA: 2025 Life Science Conference returns on Thursday, May 8, at the Chase Center on the Riverfront – Wilmington. Hosted by the Delaware BioScience Association, the event will convene ...
