A new technique, based on a chain reaction of recognition and hybridization events between two sets of DNA hairpin molecules, offers an enzyme-free alternative for the rapid detection of specific ...

Mazel. The Schlierf group used a cutting-edge microscopy setup to study how strongly a recombinase protein binds the different DNA hairpin sequences. They found that the complexes with the ...

Kokoris came up with the idea of solving some of the noise issue of nanopore sequencing by converting DNA into larger ...

Researchers have uncovered mechanisms by which mobile genetic elements integrate into the chromosomes of bacteria with linear genomes.

Building blocks of DNA self-assemble into nanostructures in a kinetically controlled way. The versatile molecular system can be programmed to perform diverse dynamic functions. Nanotechnologists ...
