Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they ...

One of the new DNA-binding proteins was tested in a medical diagnostic method known as loop-mediated isothermal amplification ...

Scientists at INRS have identified a family of enzymes, known as Ssn, that can make targeted cuts in single-stranded DNA—a feat never before achieved. This discovery not only fills a major gap in ...
