Scientists computed a zoo of millions of alternate genetic polymer molecular structures, giving context for why biology encodes information how it does, and providing potential leads for new drugs and a guide to searches for extraterrestrial biology.
Study could advance molecular diagnosis and robotics
DNA assembled into nanostructures such as tubes and origami-inspired shapes could someday find applications ranging from DNA computers to nanomedicine.
EPFL bioengineers have developed a new method for Bulk RNA Sequencing that combines the multiplexing-driven cost-effectiveness of a single-cell RNA-seq workflow with the performance of a bulk RNA-seq procedure.
CRISPR team harnesses new Cas12b enzyme for use in eukaryotic cells, adding to the CRISPR toolbox.
The technology could be used to develop more sophisticated nanomachines with reconfigurable parts
Engineers control cellular proteins with biological computing
"Drinking milk or eating beef could cause rheumatoid arthritis, scientists warn," reports the Mail Online. However, the story is more complicated than the headline suggests.
