Researchers at Stanford have expanded the CRISPR method to enable programmable, targeted control of spatial genomic DNA organization in the nucleus and allow for regulated gene expression over a long distance.
Stanford researchers have engineered yeast strains for de novo biosynthesis of tetrahydropapaverine (THP) and a semi-synthetic production of papaverine with high efficiency.
Fast, accurate and cheap synthesis of ultralong strands of DNA is an essential foundation for synthetic DNA technologies such as cellular programming and engineering.
