WATERTOWN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RootPath announced today the US launch of its flagship product, RootPath Custom Gene Library. Similar to conventional gene synthesis products, this product is ...

CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary gene-editing tool, but it’s not without its downsides. Now, scientists at Harvard have demonstrated an alternative genetic engineering system called Retron Library ...

The biotech revolution of the past few decades has made possible hundreds of new drugs, DNA fingerprinting in crime cases, and the Human Genome Project that is reading out the entire genetic code of ...

Design and discovery of useful protein polymers has been, until now, labour intensive and slow. Sequence domains (∼30 amino acids or fewer) from proteins such as elastin are 'polymerized' via genetic ...

Microarray synthesis of DNA oligonucleotides costs a fraction of a penny per base. But such methods can’t make pieces longer than about 200 bases. And stitching those oligonucleotide fragments into ...

Since the beginning of the microbiome era decades ago, 16S rRNA gene-based amplicon sequencing has been widely adopted for microbial composition profiling. Many researchers might assume the 16S ...

Chemical modification of DNA subunits contribute to the regulation of gene expression. Researchers have now deciphered a new pathway can reactivate genes that have been silenced in this way, while ...
