Every living cell must interpret its genetic code—a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A ...

Deoxyribozymes (DNA catalysts) have been reported for cleavage of RNA phosphodiester linkages, but cleaving peptide or DNA phosphodiester linkages is much more challenging. Using in vitro ...

But DNA has an added layer of information encoded on top of the nucleotide sequence, known as epigenetics. These are chemical modifications to the nucleotides, specifically altering a C when it ...

We have DNA sequencing machines that make very few mistakes. Unfortunately, they're only good for reading DNA in chunks of about 200 bases or so.
