For decades, scientists have studied how to control DNA—the molecule that holds the instructions for all life. One of the ...

Single-stranded DNA is less common than double-stranded DNA. It is often found in some viruses and plays a key role in certain biological processes, such as cell replication or repair. Single ...

A form of DNA with a key role Single-stranded DNA is less common than double-stranded DNA. It is often found in some viruses and plays a key role in certain biological processes, such as cell ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such ...

However, current DNA sequencing technologies cannot resolve these initial single-strand events from which mutations originate. This talk will present a novel single-molecule, long-read sequencing ...

An INRS team discovers a new family of enzymes capable of inducing targeted cuts in single-stranded DNA . A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the ...

The team initially set out to study another replication machinery protein, single-stranded DNA-binding protein, and its interaction with DNA polymerase. However, they first needed to establish how the ...

First, they fabricated a universal single-strand DNA, as well as library of hundreds of short, single DNA strands called bricks. Each brick is composed of 24 nucleotides, including cytosine sites ...
