The cost of decoding our genetic makeup has plummeted. Just because it’s affordable doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth doing ...

DNA captured on air filters and stored since the 1960s acts as an ecological time capsule, according to a recent publication ...

In a breakthrough that turns routine radiation monitoring into a biodiversity time capsule, researchers have extracted ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of ...

Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

While modern octopuses have DNA that consistently gets reshuffled, resulting in some chromosomal mixing, the researchers ...

Different teams need to make the same conclusion multiple times before a consensus is reached and the finding can be built ...

PLAMseq utilizes a rapid biotinylation enzyme called TurboID, which tags nearby proteins, enabling the genomic loci and ...

The vampire squid is a creature straight out of a gothic horror film. It lurks in the deep-sea abyss, cloaked in dark, webbed arms, its massive eyes glowing red or blue. The dramatic scientific name — ...
