Figure 1: DNA polymerase assembles nucleotides to make a new DNA strand. In order to understand how Sanger sequencing works, it's first necessary to understand the process of DNA replication as it ...

Through the technique of DNA sequencing, first developed by Frederick Sanger, scientists can determine the exact order of nucleotides in an organism’s genes.

Chemists use modified DNA nucleotides to create new materials Date: October 11, 2017 Source: Scripps Research Institute Summary: Chemists have demonstrate that they can repurpose DNA to create new ...

In a mind-boggling world first, a team of biologists and security researchers have successfully infected a computer with a strand of DNA. It sounds like science fiction, but it's very real ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...

There are several ways to do this, but the general idea is to assign digital data patterns to DNA nucleotides. For instance, 00 could be equivalent to A, 01 to C, 10 to T and 11 to G.

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is fundamental to your growth, reproduction, and health. Read about its basic function and structures.

Short circular DNA nanotechnology. Comparatively, short circular DNA nanotechnology is created following a series of circularization steps that convert the short linear template strand into a ...

This includes the "regular" nucleotides (bases) of A's, G's, C's, and T's, an enzyme known as polymerase (which will help to connect the free nucleotides to the single strand of cloned DNA), and ...

The final DNA strand contains close to 1,700 nucleotides. When the researchers heated and cooled their DNA strands in a test tube, each one folded in on itself and snapped into a virus-size ...
