In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

A team from the Andalusian Center for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER) has developed an innovative technique called PLAMseq (proximity-labeled affinity-purified mass spectrometry ...

Students take samples of water and the microscopic creatures within at the Alviso Marina County Park. (Image by Erika Cardema) At the Alviso Marina County Park, reddish-brown water laps at the edge of ...

Scaffolded DNA and RNA origami is a technique that allows scientists to build tiny, highly precise two- and three-dimensional ...

DNA sequencing from bulk or clonal human tissues has shown that genetic mosaicism is common and contributes to both cancer and non-cancerous disorders. However, single-cell resolution is required to ...

Clinical microbiology laboratories are essential for exploring microbial traits pertinent to clinical services, including the diagnosis and treatment of infectious disease as well as infection ...

Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, has been published in Nature Communications.

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of ...

A new long-read DNA test improves rare disease diagnosis, replaces multiple existing tests, and could become the preferred ...
