Scientists have developed a new method for making biological ‘chips’
biology | biotechnology | chips | dna | proteins | proteomics | technologyProtein chips – or ‘protein arrays’ as they are more commonly known – are objects such as slides that have proteins attached to them and allow important scientific data about the behaviour of proteins to be gathered.
Scientists build a better DNA molecule
biotechnology | dna | technologyBuilding faultless objects from faulty components may seem like alchemy. Yet scientists from the Weizmann Institute’s Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, and Biological Chemistry Departments have achieved just that, using a mathematical concept called recursion.
5' flanking region
dnaA region of DNA is adjacent to 5' end of the gene. The 5' flanking region contains the promoter, and may contain enhancers or other protein binding sites. It is region of DNA that not transcribed into RNA.
‘Telepathic’ Genes Recognize Similarities In Each Other
biotechnology | dna | genes | scienceGenes have the ability to recognise similarities in each other from a distance, without any proteins or other biological molecules aiding the process, according to new research. This discovery could explain how similar genes find each other and group together in order to perform key processes involved in the evolution of species.
Scientists Create the First Synthetic Bacterial Genome
bacteria | bioengineering | biohacking | biotech | biotechnology | dna | genetic engineering | genome | technologyA team of 17 researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) has created the largest man-made DNA structure by synthesizing and assembling the 582,970 base pair genome of a bacterium, Mycoplasma genitalium JCVI-1.0.
