Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from biology, engineering, and computer science to design and construct new biological systems or redesign existing ones. It ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

- The next frontier in oligonucleotide synthesis is the direct synthesis of gene-length sequences. - Ansa synthesized a 1005 base long oligonucleotide with industry-leading accuracy. - Ansa will be ...

Molecular instructions in living cells can be timed rather like the notes or chords in a piece of music. For example, a finite number of genes can be activated and expressed in different orders, for ...

Much the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres — regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure — protect the tips of chromosomes from damage. Every ...

Carolus Vitalis grew up in a small town in Chile—a town so small it doesn’t appear on any maps. Now he’s at the forefront of a large, impactful discussion: the pros and cons of artificial intelligence ...

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and the University of Rome Tor Vergata in Italy have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The ...
