Article reviewed by Govind Kaigala, PhD at the University of British Columbia. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. In situ hybridization (ISH) is a molecular technique that ...

Microarrays of oligonucleotides which represent the complete set of complements to a target RNA are readily made by a simple automated method. These ‘scanning’ arrays can be used for basic studies of ...

Using strands of nucleic acid, scientists have demonstrated basic computing operations inside a living mammalian cell. The research could lead to an artificial sensing system that could control a cell ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...
