As genome editing therapies move through clinical trials to regulatory approval, scientists continue the quest for the holy ...

It’s a bit like giving the soil a DNA test.” A new droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) method quantifies root DNA directly from soil ...

The US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has developed new portable field devices that will allow soldiers to identify unknown ...

TEL AVIV, Israel & LEHI, Utah & HOUSTON & FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MyHeritage, the leading global platform for family history and DNA testing, announced today a landmark move to Whole Genome ...

DNA sequencing is a set of laboratory methods for determining the precise linear order of nucleotides (A, C, G, T) in a DNA molecule. Core methodological classes include Sanger sequencing, which uses ...

In 1995, with the Human Genome Project underway, sequencing was all the rage. Scientists working on the project cloned short fragments of the whole genome and used Sanger sequencing to determine the ...

When it comes to finding answers, every moment counts—especially in critical care settings like the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units (NICU and PICU). Although rapid genetic tests, whether ...

In the study of bacteria, a longstanding dogma has held that two molecular machines—RNA polymerase, which leads the way in transcribing DNA into RNA, and ribosomes, which bring up the rear translating ...

We spoke to David Klenerman, co-developer of sequencing by synthesis, to find out how his work heralded the next generation ...

After more than two decades without leads or answers, human remains found in Washington state’s Olympic National Park in 2000 have been identified as Joseph Louis Serrao Jr ...

Thanks to a new approach, more labs will be able to access the power of single-cell sequencing — gaining insights into complex biological processes otherwise obscured in bulk samples. Not so long ago, ...
