Scientists are seeking to decipher the role of non-coding DNA in the human genome, helped by a suite of ...

With a way to sequence DNA in space, astronauts could diagnose an illness, or identify microbes growing in the International Space Station and determine whether or not they represent a health threat.

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ...

The remaining break was at the centromere, a notoriously difficult region of repetitive DNA found in every chromosome. In the X chromosome, the centromere encompasses a region of highly repetitive DNA ...

Sections of DNA can also be abnormally replicated, leading to duplications within a DNA sequence and potential production of a non-functioning protein. The addition or loss of base pairs can lead to a ...

5 DNA nanotechnology (a) The self-assembly properties of the DNA double helix can be exploited to make a variety of structures. In this case (left), the bases on one molecule (red) bind together with ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold ...

DNA editing just got a sharp, new pencil. Researchers have built an enzyme that can perform a previously impossible DNA swap, directly changing the DNA base pair from an A T to a G C. The new ...

Biophysics study makes exciting advancements for the future of DNA sequencing Date: September 11, 2017 Source: Northeastern University College of Science Summary: New technology that optimizes DNA ...
