When it comes to critical care for newborns, being able to act fast is of the utmost importance, which is why this new DNA tech is so important.

A new report presents DM-Seq (direct methylation sequencing), a bisulfite-free method for profiling 5-methylcytosine (5mC) at single-base resolution using nanogram quantities of DNA. The technique ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Centuries-old genetic material can solve historical mysteries, from lost species to what killed Napoleon’s army.

Zymo Research, a global leader in the field of epigenetics, microbiomics and transcriptomics, proudly announces the launch of its latest innovation, the Zymo-Seq™ SPLAT DNA Library Kit. This ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial ...

New 'cassette tape' made of DNA has the capacity to store 36 petabytes of data, which could change the future of digital ...

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest and deadliest infectious diseases we know. It commonly impacts the lungs, but can also affect other areas of the body like the spine, brain or kidneys.

The universal features that define genomic regions acting as replication origins remain unclear. In this study, we mapped a set of origins in Trypanosoma brucei using stranded short nascent strand ...
