A Sticky Situation: Recombinant DNA Technology Janet Mertz’s work with simian virus 40 DNA during her graduate years was pivotal for developing DNA recombination as we now know it.

To create microflows using the fabricated DNA motifs, a non-photoresponsive motif without azobenzene was crosslinked to a photoresponsive DNA structure. The sticky end of the non-photoresponsive ...

Joining DNA molecules by sticky ends can yield longer lines, perhaps with specific components in a particular linear or cyclic order in one dimension.

By creating arbitrary sticky ends, PfAgo could make assembly of large DNA molecules easier, and enables cloning of large DNA molecules such as biochemical pathways and large genes.

Figure 1: Calculation of cumulative XOR by self-assembly of DNA tiles. In periodic assemblies, the sticky ends contain positional information that directs the associations of one or more tile ...

By creating arbitrary sticky ends, PfAgo could make assembly of large DNA molecules easier and would enable cloning of large DNA molecules, such as biochemical pathways and large genes.

Though useful in genetic engineering, no AREs generate defined "sticky ends" -- an uneven break in the DNA ladder-structure that leaves complementary overhangs, improving adhesion when introducing ...

DNA is more than just the secret of life--it is also a versatile component for making nanoscopic structures and devices The year 2003 witnessed the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNAs double ...

Given a certain set of sticky end sequences, the nanorobot and its feedstock can produce a particular set of different constructs depending on the programming. Ned Seeman and other researchers ...

This self-assembly creates 2D DNA tiles, which are equipped with sticky ends that allow for immediate connection to the adjacent DNA tiles for the construction of pre-determined lattices.

The structural difference in DNA cleavage—Cas12a generates staggered cuts with sticky ends—may explain the divergence in repair outcomes.
