Promising new inroads into critical DNA testing has been forecast by Flinders University experts who have applied machine learning to DNA profiling. From medical diagnostics to forensic tests and ...

Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing ...

The epigenetic modification, DNA methylation, is characterized by 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and found in specific genomic locations, most notably regulatory regions such as promoters and enhancers.

“It’s a bit like giving the soil a DNA test.” A new droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) method quantifies root DNA directly from soil samples, providing an invaluable insight into plant biomass and carbon ...
