Researchers at the Center for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM) have developed a new system that combines spore trapping ...

The fixed idea that DNA is only a molecule that stores genetic information is being challenged. KAIST researchers have ...

A new DNA sequencing technique that delivers faster and more accurate bacterial infection diagnoses could be implemented nationwide. The method, developed by the Medicines and Healthcare products ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have found that the DNA spools inside human cells are far less tightly wound than textbooks have long suggested.

Researchers have developed BayesCNA, a new method that detects cancer DNA at just 5% in blood samples, potentially improving ...

The cause of rare diseases is increasingly being detected through genome sequencing, which involves reading the entire human DNA by first breaking it into small pieces—short reads. Christian Gilissen, ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...
