biopolymers made of nucleotide subunits that carry the code of life. The ORNL researchers precisely edited commodity polymers that significantly contribute to plastic waste. In some experiments ...

In 1970, biochemist Robert Wells of the University of Alabama at Birmingham saw something strange in his X-ray images of a new synthetic DNA polymer. The DNA molecule was composed of the traditional ...

biopolymers made of nucleotide subunits that carry the code of life. "This is CRISPR for editing polymers," said ORNL's Jeffrey Foster, who led a study that was published in Journal of the ...
