In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models or cultured cells. To fully realize the potential to study biology at this unprecedented scale ...

Phylogenetic analysis and DNA sequence representation are foundational pillars in modern molecular biology and bioinformatics. These approaches not only facilitate the reconstruction of evolutionary ...

Researchers have unveiled CREsted, a comprehensive software powerhouse. CREsted doesn’t just describe how DNA works; it allows scientists to design entirely new, synthetic enhancers—short DNA ...

The presence or absence of remaining foreign DNA from the crossbred progeny of the genome-edited crop and the original crop cultivar can be determined by GenEditScan, based on the k-mer method.

Researchers at California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, Stockholm University and Uppsala University are working on a smartphone-based microscope in hopes of developing a cost-effective and accessible ...

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 ...

VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) ("Volition"), a multi-national epigenetics company, is the first to demonstrate the isolation and analysis of >99% pure circulating tumor-derived DNA (ctDNA).

The abundance of viral DNA was measured in DNA sequenced from blood and saliva samples in biobanks, revealing strong ...

Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

A new analysis of ancient mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from Neanderthal fossils suggests researchers may need to revisit when ...

A hot potato: Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) faces mounting scrutiny over its cyber vulnerabilities. While NGS has revolutionized fields ranging from cancer diagnostics to infectious disease ...
