DNA is a linear biopolymer, a compound biomolecule in the form of a double helix. Polymers are made of monomers, and in DNA, ...

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 ...

A research team from POSTECH has developed a biodegradable polymer-based delivery system that efficiently transports mRNA.

The study of nanofluidic dynamics, particularly concerning DNA and semiflexible polymers, has gained significant attention in recent years. This field explores how these molecules behave when ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the nucleic acid polymer that forms the genetic code for a cell or virus. Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each ...

"genetic scissors" for editing DNA strands, biopolymers made of nucleotide subunits that carry the code of life. The ORNL researchers precisely edited commodity polymers that significantly ...

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 ...

A research team has developed a biodegradable polymer-based delivery system that efficiently transports mRNA.

Learn about our Editorial Policies. Unlike in traditional mass cytometry, where the metal tag is bound directly to the antibody that will bind to the target, we added short DNA polymers to the ...

Except for identical twins, each person's DNA is unique. This is why people can be identified using DNA fingerprinting. DNA can be cut up and separated, which can form a 'bar code' that is ...
