gel-based Sanger sequencing and early machines could only generate 250 to 500 base pairs of DNA sequence per reaction, 750 to 1,000 base pairs of sequence can now be read from a single reaction ...

As the rate of humanity’s data creation increases exponentially with the rise of AI, scientists have been interested in DNA as a way to store digital information. After all, DNA is nature’s ...

Protein machines known as SMC motors, previously thought to move in one direction, can switch direction while shaping DNA. This ability allows them to pull DNA into loops from both sides, crucial ...
