LingVitae AS in Oslo is approaching the nanopore problem from another angle—converting DNA into 'design polymers' to make sequencing easier (see Box 1). The theoretical potential of nanopore ...

DNA polymerase (DNAP) is a type of enzyme that is responsible for forming new copies of DNA, in the form of nucleic acid molecules. Nucleic acids are polymers, which are large molecules made up of ...

yet. Scientists have created a new mode of DNA storage and preservation using an amber-like polymer, for high scalability, ease of storing and removing DNA, and lossless DNA extraction.

In a discovery that could redefine how we understand cellular resilience and adaptability, scientists have unlocked the secret interactions between a primordial inorganic polymer of phosphate known as ...

A new discovery about how ring-shaped polymers behave offers the potential to enable new ways for polymer scientists to ...

scientists at Scripps Research have unlocked the secret interactions between a primordial inorganic polymer of phosphate known as polyphosphate (polyP), and two basic building blocks of life: DNA ...

Polymers are a broad class of materials characterized by the large molecules that comprise them. They can be found in nature as proteins and more, including DNA, and in a number of industrial ...

On the other hand, individual evidence, such as fingerprints and DNA, can be used to identify an individual. Each DNA molecule is a polymer, which consists of millions of repeating units known as ...
