Nucleotides are the fundamental units that make up the genetic material of all living organisms. They are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, which store and transmit genetic information. Nucleotides ...

There’s been this dream for decades. What if we could just print out an entire gene directly, one base at a time? —Daniel Lin-Arlow, Ansa Biotechnologies As scientists set their sights on cell and ...

RNA drugs are the next frontier of medicine, but manufacturing them requires an expensive and labor-intensive process that limits production and produces metric tons of toxic chemical waste.

A new paper published in Nature Biotechnology this week titled, “Template-independent enzymatic synthesis of RNA oligonucleotides,” provides details of a method for synthesizing single-stranded RNA ...

While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...

While the COVID-19 vaccines introduced many people to RNA-based medicines, RNA oligonucleotides have already been on the market for years to treat diseases like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and ...
