Recent reporting, analysis and explainers from the DNA desk.
science
A bioRxiv preprint describes ModDNA, a sequence-design and cloning toolkit for building custom DNA molecules up to 100 kilobases. The researchers used the constructs in single-molecule visualisation assays, including an assay of DNA loop extrusion by human condensin I.
science
A Technical University of Munich preprint describes synthetic DNA strands carrying flavin chromophores that generate spin-correlated radical pairs. The system can be manipulated with radiofrequency fields and read using optically detected magnetic resonance, with DNA sequence and structure controlling its response.
