New method of mass-producing high-quality DNA molecules

June 3, 2013 – 9:08 pm
  • New method of mass-producing high-quality DNA molecules - A new method of manufacturing short, single-stranded DNA molecules can solve many of the problems associated with current production methods. The new method, which is described in the scientific periodical Nature Methods, can be of value to both DNA nanotechnology and the development of drugs consisting of DNA fragments.(10.1038/nmeth.2503)

    Polymer production line runs on DNA

    March 4, 2013 – 6:00 pm
  • Polymer production line runs on DNA | Chemistry World - US researchers have developed a purely chemical and enzyme-free system that can build synthetic polymers using DNA as a template. The work offers the opportunity to harness the power of natural selection by creating large libraries of synthetic polymers in a similar way that nature evolves biopolymers such as proteins.(10.1038/NCHEM.1577)
