In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...
Researchers developed C28, an engineered polymerase that efficiently synthesizes RNA at near-natural speeds with high accuracy. Created through directed evolution, the enzyme also performs reverse ...
From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as their use continues to grow, so does a fundamental challenge: producing RNA ...

Illinois biochemistry professor Satish Nair and his colleagues discovered a new class of DNA-protein hybrids and determined the mechanisms by which they are formed in bacterial cells. The findings ...
Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...
A 45-nucleotide strand of RNA can now synthesize both its mirror-image complement and a copy of itself, bringing scientists ...
CD Bioparticles launches specialized RNA Synthesis services for researchers to develop next-generation mRNA vaccines, gene therapies, and RNA-based therapeutics.
