A recent article in Small describes a modular platform for assembling protein-DNA composites using covalent, site-specific conjugation. This method enables the formation of stable structures with ...

Similarly to the artistic technique of folding paper into ornate shapes, DNA origami is a self-assembling technique of precisely folding single-stranded DNA scaffolds into well-defined nanostructures.

Adrian Woolfson, MD, PhD, says biology is becoming a general design and manufacturing platform poised to unlock a multi-trillion-dollar bioeconomy. Key to this transition will be the ability to write ...

New research suggests DNA may not need activation, challenging a long-held idea about how life began and reshaping ...
