Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing ...

When it comes to critical care for newborns, being able to act fast is of the utmost importance, which is why this new DNA ...

Current genetic sequencing techniques can provide much information about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or a drop of blood. But they are unable to reveal where ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

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 ...

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.

While solution-phase chemistry lets millions of parallel DNA reactions be performed simultaneously in a beaker, manipulating single molecules of DNA is still a formidable challenge. A new technique, ...

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 ...
