When scientists cracked open the first grains from asteroid Bennu, they expected a time capsule of rock and dust. What they ...

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted protein engineering are enabling breakthroughs in the life sciences but also introduce new biosecurity challenges. Synthesis of nucleic acids is a ...

You know that exfoliating your face is the best shortcut to glowy skin, but the idea of slathering acid all over your face may not seem very appealing. Don’t let the term dissuade you, though: Acids ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...

A research team has found that compounds in the nucleic acids derived from food can inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells. When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all living ...

Eli Lilly has opened a $700 million R&D center in the Boston Seaport, boosting its RNA and DNA research capabilities and expanding its biotech-hosting Gateway Labs to the East Coast for the first time ...

Here we explore the massive impact nucleic acid chemistry has had on the manufacture of synthetic DNA and RNA sequences whilst explaining the chemistry behind the chemical synthesis of DNA Nucleic ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...

Fatty acids are necessary for the normal functioning of all systems in the body. People can only get essential fatty acids from food sources, while it can create nonessential fatty acids. There are ...
