Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code. These "gel automata," measuring just centimeters, can grow or shrink, ...

While working as an applications scientist in the bio-instrument industry, molecular geneticist Ming Liu, Ph.D., came to appreciate the potential of capillary electrophoresis and decided to develop ...

CRISPR is a powerful gene-editing tool that’s showing real promise in treating diseases like HIV, cancer, diabetes and a host of others. Now, new research from MIT and Harvard is showing how versatile ...

In this article, we will consider how agarose gel electrophoresis works, how it can be interpreted and some of its purposes. Electrophoresis is a technique that uses electrical current to separate DNA ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists in Japan have made a tuneable, elastic and temperature-sensitive gel by using complementary DNA strands to connect star-shaped polymer molecules together. The gel, and the ...
