Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind ...

This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

Genetic mutations in human DNA can prevent proteins that perform important functions in the body from being formed correctly. This can lead to serious disorders that cause disease or even disability.

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

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

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

The vampire squid is a creature straight out of a gothic horror film. It lurks in the deep-sea abyss, cloaked in dark, webbed ...

Whole-genome sequencing reads every DNA base. This shifts medicine from diagnosing disease based on symptoms to molecular ...

Genetic sequencing can be expensive, and sometimes it can give us some information about our health or families. Other times, claims that genetic sequencing can improve health might be greeted with ...
