Restriction enzymes slice DNA, dice it, and snip it just where you’d like. But wait, there’s more! One of these DNA-omatics not only cuts like a pair of scissors, it looks like one too, report ...

Research by Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Huimin Zhao and graduate student Behnam Enghiad at the University of Illinois is pioneering a new method of genetic engineering for basic ...

There are many health problems that can be traced back to errors in the genetic code. There are also many potential benefits to genetic engineering outside of healthcare. Nature has already found ways ...

A team led by investigators has overcome a major constraint for cutting and editing DNA by CRISPR-Cas enzymes and other technologies. A team led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH ...

Researchers studying a DNA-cutting enzyme with a crucial role in regulating the structure of genes have discovered a broad role for its cutting activity in driving abnormal genetic rearrangements ...

Figure 1. ANKLE1 senses mechanical tension in DNA and helps resolve DNA bridges connecting separating daughter nuclei. ANKLE1 (green) localises to the midbody (red) during cell division. In cells ...

Mek & Tosj on Monday released a new version (2.0) of EnzymeX, a Mac OS X-only program designed to assist molecular biologists in their work with restriction enzymes. The new version touts over 50 new ...
