This study sequenced and assembled nine BACs of giant panda, filling gaps in genomic knowledge and challenging the perception that it's a species at an evolutionary dead end. The data suggests that conservation strategies should focus on restoring wild habitats and maintaining regional genetic diversity.
Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a DNA-based assembly line for predictable, high-precision nano-construction, enabling the rapid assembly of new biosensors and solar cells. By controlling DNA interactions, they can regulate interparticle distances and assemble nano-objects into complex structures.
Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered a way to control the assembly of gold nanoparticles using rigid, double-stranded DNA, which can lead to more efficient energy generation and data storage. The technique takes advantage of DNA's natural tendency to pair up components, allowing for more efficient assembly.
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a novel method for proofreading and error-correction in nanomaterials, utilizing catalytic DNA to detect and remove incorrect particles. This approach mimics nature's accuracy mechanisms in protein synthesis and holds promise for precise control over nanoparticle assembly.
Researchers at Arizona State University have created unique arrays of proteins tethered onto self-assembled DNA nanostructures. By controlling the exact position and location of chemical bases within a synthetic replica of DNA, a novel approach to attaching biomolecules has been achieved.
Researchers suggest that early life forms could have emerged from heterogeneous lipid assemblies, with information stored in composition rather than sequence. This model offers a solution to the long-standing question of how lipid assemblies could carry and propagate information.
