Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

Exploring the full complexity of cells at the molecular level will require the fashioning of new tools that allow researchers to manipulate complex biological processes in unique ways. Small organic ...

Our research focuses on all aspects of nucleic acid structure, chemistry and function employing state of the art technologies and approaches. The structure and chemistry of nucleic acids is ...

Since the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA and postulation of the central dogma of molecular biology, stating that the flow of genetic information goes from DNA to RNA to protein, the ...

At the heart of molecular biology is the study of genetic material – DNA and RNA – which serve as the fundamental blueprints for life. These nucleic acids are not only essential for understanding how ...

The Nucleic Acids Institute is dedicated to uncovering the chemical and biological underpinnings of nucleic acid function, and to developing innovative nucleic acid-based therapies and applications.

Nature encodes nucleic acids to assemble enormously complex and highly functional materials that form the foundation of life. To establish a similar code to construct synthetic, unnatural materials ...

Harnessing the interactions between DNA, RNA, and proteins holds much promise for detecting biomarkers, diagnosing disease, and improving cancer-targeting therapeutics. Quantifying these interactions ...
