Silver nanoparticles provide a more efficient way to cut and assemble DNA, improving recovery rates and boosting DNA joining ...

Blood tests have proved to be a promising tool for detecting and monitoring cancer. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg in Sweden have now developed a new ...

Due to its high accuracy and fast, simple workflow, capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a foundational technology for clinical applications. CE is an invaluable tool used to detect genetic variations ...

Genix.ai empowers individuals to understand their bodies at a genetic level. By exploring established techniques like Sanger DNA sequencing, we uncover how personalized intelligence can guide you ...

Humans are closely related to chimpanzees and bonobos, but what are the key factors that make humans genetically different? A new study looks at the process of DNA methylation, in which chemical tags ...

A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers stumbled upon a bizarre genetic code in a microscopic pond organism.

In the never-ending battle between bacteria and viruses, both sides devise devious strategies to thwart the other. In a new study, scientists analyzed one such strategy used by the bacterium ...

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed a new RNA sequencing strategy that can reveal how genetic variants disrupt gene function and improve the diagnosis of rare ...

A new single-cell technology is giving scientists their clearest view yet of immune cell behavior—capturing not just genetic intent, but real-time activity. By measuring RNA and proteins ...

This article is less about a direct clinical application and more about a technology that made much of the recent progress in biotechnology and biomedicine possible. The shift in healthcare toward ...

An identical twin commits a crime and leaves their DNA at the scene. Can DNA testing reveal which twin is the culprit? This question reportedly came up in a case in France last month, in which the DNA ...

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 ...
