Drag-and-drop and synthetic DNA self-assembly makes drug design easier

Researchers at  Parabon NanoLabs have developed an unique tool that allows scientists to use an intuitive drag-and-drop computer interface, much like in any other 3-D CAD software like Catia or AutoCAD, together with  DNA self-assembly techniques, to develop and test new drugs much faster. Called the  Parabon Essemblix Drug Development Platform, the tool can be used to design molecular pieces […]

First ever computer model of a living organism performed

In what can only be described as a milestone in biological and genetic engineering, scientists at Stanford University have, for the first time ever, simulated a complete bacterium. With the organism completely in virtual form, the scientists can perform any kind of modification on its genome and observe extremely quickly what kind of changes would […]
