When scientists sequenced the DNA of a woman who lived to 117, they were not just cataloging the quirks of an extraordinary life. They were probing a question that touches every family: why do some ...

Pipettes? Check. Centrifuges? Check. Microplates? Check. Gloves? Check. Salmon sperm DNA? Check. Wait what? There are a ...

Ansa Biotechnologies’ CEO Daniel Lin-Arlow’s passion is helping scientists do their job faster and deliver their innovation to the world. His latest solution? Enzymatic DNA synthesis. DNA writing is ...

More than 20 years after people got a peek at the first draft of the human genome, our genetic instruction book, researchers have unlocked the next level: the human pangenome. The more complete ...

DNA, the language of biology, is driving all synthetic biology applications, from animal-free meat to life-saving therapeutics. It should come as no surprise that DNA synthesis is a hot and ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

A team of researchers led by Stanford University and San Diego-based Boundless Bio have identified an oral small molecule that specifically targets extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in cancer cells, ...

New molecule halts mitochondrial DNA loss before it triggers inflammation. When environmental stress harms DNA, it can set off a cascade of failures linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration and ...

All life on Earth rests on the same foundation: a four-letter genetic alphabet spelling out a repertoire of three-letter words that specify 20 amino acids. These basic building blocks—the components ...

Codex DNA, fresh off raising $122 million in an initial public stock offering in June, has inked a deal to buy privately held Eton Bioscience — combining two of San Diego’s synthetic biology tools and ...
