While the fashion and music tastes of the late 1980’s was rather questionable, it was a time of historic technological and societal change. Between the breakdown of the Soviet Union and the rise of the global computer network that we now call internet, a small group of researchers succeeded for the first time in generating […]

Synthetic DNA Adds Storage Capacity to Genome Editing
Just when you thought you’d mastered both your linguistic and scientific alphabets, it looks like it’s time to dust off the ol’ learning cap and re-learn your ATGCs because the two-base-pair genetic alphabet has just got some fancy new characters. A clever team from the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla (California) have now expanded the inheritable […]

DNA Cubes May Take Genome Editing Outside the Box
Through the use of some creative chemistry researchers have devised DNA cubes that can deliver molecular packages with precision that would make FedEx jealous. A geometrically genius team from McGill University crafted a piece of DNA origami that will only release it’s molecular payload when triggered by a specific mRNA. Here’s how they did it: Cubes were […]
