A team from the Andalusian Center for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER) has developed an innovative technique called PLAMseq (proximity-labeled affinity-purified mass spectrometry ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

In just a few decades, DNA sequencing technologies evolved from slow, manual processes to rapid, automated ones, making ...

Scaffolded DNA and RNA origami is a technique that allows scientists to build tiny, highly precise two- and three-dimensional ...

Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, has been published in Nature Communications.

Bacteria are among the most diverse lifeforms on Earth, so it’s no surprise that their genomes have yielded a treasure trove of fascinating discoveries. The study of bacterial genomes has led to the ...

Infections by hantaviruses are rare but dangerous, killing 30–40% of infected people. When cases occur, public health ...

A new long-read DNA test improves rare disease diagnosis, replaces multiple existing tests, and could become the preferred ...

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 ...

Researchers have found that the DNA spools inside human cells are far less tightly wound than textbooks have long suggested.
