Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind ...

Centuries-old genetic material can solve historical mysteries, from lost species to what killed Napoleon’s army.

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

A new tool to predict the chances of successfully inserting a gene-edited sequence of DNA into the genome of a cell, using a technique known as prime editing, has been developed by researchers at the ...

Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis ...

This article introduces the field of bioinformatics and its importance as a cornerstone of biological research, as well as its history from the comparative analysis of the first amino acid sequences ...

CRISPR—Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats—is the microbial world’s answer to adaptive immunity. Bacteria don’t generate antibodies when they are invaded by a pathogen and then ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have devised a method that may be able to shortcut one of the big steps in modern vaccine development. The researchers showed that they could apply high-resolution, ...
