Site-specific endonucleases that exclusively cut single-stranded DNA have hitherto never been described and constitute a barrier to the development of ssDNA-based technologies. Here the authors ...

Othram's powerful DNA sequencer helped build the suspects' DNA profile from microscopic samples of evidence. That DNA profile was then compared to other publicly available profiles in specific ...

In 1988, 19-year-old Cathy Swartz was a young mother living with her fiancé Mike Warner and her 9-month-old baby Courteney in Three Rivers, Michigan. On Dec. 2, Warner returned home from work to ...

Illumina has been barred from exporting its DNA sequencers to China ... the reagents or consumables necessary to run the sequencing machines. “Illumina will continue to serve our customers ...

A new study of ancient DNA from fifth- to sixth-century Hun skeletons suggests they were a motley crew of mixed origin with a few connections to the Xiongnu Empire in Mongolia.

By Saturday, the UNO diversity office’s website had been taken down and an email sent to the office’s former chief diversity officer could not be delivered. The announcement of the office’s ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

Has drug gi­ant Roche fi­nal­ly cracked DNA se­quenc­ing? The com­pa­ny has re­cent­ly claimed it can quick­ly and ac­cu­rate­ly de­code the genome, in a way that’ … ...

“Crucially, because our approach does not rely on specific [DNA] synthesis or sequencing methods, it can be adapted to future, as-yet-undeveloped technologies that may be more commercially ...

“Our approach to efficiently sequencing DNA is to not sequence DNA,” Kokoris told GEN, chuckling. Instead, he explained, they created and innovated a biochemical conversion process to change ...

Environments are littered with the DNA of the creatures that inhabit them. Analyzing it could provide a real-time view of how our planet is changing. When you purchase through links on our site ...
