Clues to the genetic code’s origin may be hidden in tiny protein fragments, revealing a synchronized and highly structured ...

New research suggests DNA may not need activation, challenging a long-held idea about how life began and reshaping ...

Scientists show DNA polymerases can build long, patterned DNA without a template called "doodling," opening new paths for ...

According to new research next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) -- the same technology which is powering the development of tailor-made medicines, cancer diagnostics, infectious disease tracking, and ...

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 ...

Element Biosciences is going toe-to-toe with gene-sequencing giant Illumina, unveiling a device that can read DNA for half the price of the industry leader’s technology. On Thursday, Element ...

The Southern white rhino Edward samples a birthday box of hay in 2020. Southern white rhinos are connected to the effort to revive the critically endangered northern white rhino, which has deposits in ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s DeepMind now claims to have found a revolutionary use case for AI: helping ...

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 ...

Cornell (NY, USA) 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 ...
