Minor groove binding compounds represent a diverse class of small molecules that interact with the DNA double helix by inserting into its narrower, minor groove. This mode of binding affords a unique ...
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), used to treat genetic diseases, can affect how cells repair damage to their DNA. This is ...
Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily.
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...
Researchers developed e2MPRA, a high-throughput technique that simultaneously measures cis-regulatory element activity and epigenetic state. By analyzing thousands of sequences, the method showed that ...
A team led by Professor Shoichiro Asayama at Tokyo Metropolitan University has synthesized a charge-free molecule designed to sneak plasmid DNA into living cells via hydrogen bonding, dramatically ...
Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they can improve rapid medical tests for infectious diseases. The international ...
Research into transcription factors deepen understanding of the 'language' of the genome, offering insights into human development. New research has uncovered more about the complexity of human gene ...
DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...
Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...
Automation-Ready DNA extraction kit simplifies workflows, reduces errors, and delivers reproducible results across a ...
