Inspired partly by that film, MIT researchers have developed a glassy, amber-like polymer that can be used for long-term storage of DNA, whether entire human genomes or digital files such as photos.
By these means circular dichroism bands due to electronic transitions polarized parallel and perpendicular to the helix axis of the DNA polymer are distinguished, as light propagated along the ...
LingVitae AS in Oslo is approaching the nanopore problem from another angle—converting DNA into 'design polymers' to make sequencing easier (see Box 1). The theoretical potential of nanopore ...
yet. Scientists have created a new mode of DNA storage and preservation using an amber-like polymer, for high scalability, ease of storing and removing DNA, and lossless DNA extraction.
In the late nineteenth century, a German biochemist found the nucleic acids, long-chain polymers of nucleotides ... giving two forms: RNA and DNA. In 1943, American Oswald Avery proved that ...
“Here we demonstrate how the sequential activation or deactivation of distinct DNA building blocks can be modularly coordinated to form distinct populations of self-assembling polymers using a ...
Researchers outline their improved lipid-polymer nanoparticle for holding mRNA that is stable when nebulized and successfully delivers aerosols (liquid droplets) into mice's lungs. mRNA medicines ...
On the other hand, individual evidence, such as fingerprints and DNA, can be used to identify an individual. Each DNA molecule is a polymer, which consists of millions of repeating units known as ...
