‘Junk DNA’ plays active role in cancer progression, researchers find
 | | Scientists at The University of Nottingham have found that a genetic rogue element produced by sequences until recently considered “junk DNA” could promote cancer progression. The researchers, led by Dr Cristina Tufarelli, in the School of Graduate Entry Medicine and Health Sciences, discovered that the presence of this faulty genetic element — known as chimeric transcript LCT13 … more… |
New method of mass-producing high-quality DNA molecules
 | | A new method of manufacturing short, single-stranded DNA molecules can solve many of the problems associated with current production methods. The new method can be of value to development of drugs consisting of DNA fragments and to DNA nanotechnology research. The novel technique for manufacturing short, single-stranded DNA molecules — or oligonucleotides — has been … more… |
RNA and DNA precursors were created from powerful comet impacts billions of years ago, say scientists
Synthesis of prebiotic hydrocarbons in impacts of simple icy mixtures on early Earth (credit: LLNL)
| | Lawrence Livermore (LLNL) scientist Nir Goldman and University of Ontario Institute of Technology colleague Isaac Tamblyn have found that icy comets that crashed into Earth billions of years ago could have produced life-building organic compounds. Comets contain a variety of simple molecules, such as water, ammonia, methanol, and carbon dioxide, and an impact event with … more…
