Hydrogels are polymeric materials with three-dimensional network structures containing large amounts of water. They serve as ...

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

DNA hydrogels are biocompatible drug delivery systems for targeted therapeutic interventions. Conventional DNA hydrogels, formed with many DNA nanostructure units, lead to increased preparation costs ...

Innovative Takumi-shaped DNA hydrogels exhibit prolonged retention and drug release, showcasing their potential as biocompatible delivery systems in medicine.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the molecular "blueprint" carrying the genetic instructions that influence the growth, ...

Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases. (Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC SA 3.0) The most common type of base pairing is the Watson-Crick base ...

DNA damage is distinct from a mutation. While a mutation is one of the standard four DNA bases (A, G, T or C) in the wrong place, similar to a spelling mistake, DNA damage is chemical alteration ...

and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction with 16 reactions per gel. Massively parallel DNA sequencing (center) sequences 100-5,000 bases per reaction ...

After sequencing, the duet proprietary software aligns and compares sequence information from the original and copy strands, computing resolved bases that have both genetic and epigenetic information.

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then ...
