Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, has been published in Nature Communications.
Researchers at Beijing Genomics and IMDEA Nanociencia institutes have introduced a novel method that could significantly accelerate efficiency and reduce the cost of handling fluidics in DNA ...
Lung infections are a constant risk for people living with cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-threatening genetic disorder that ...
Most current liquid biopsy methods involve deep sequencing of plasma DNA and bioinformatic analysis of the data produced to identify the presence of cancer in a patient. The biggest problem facing all ...
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 ...
In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...
Nearly 50 years after samples were officially collected from the Shroud of Turin, scientists have used advanced genetic ...
Definition: DNA amplification is the laboratory process of making many copies of a selected DNA sequence from a very small starting amount. It allows DNA that would otherwise be too scarce to detect ...
A new DNA sequencing technique that delivers faster and more accurate bacterial infection diagnoses could be implemented nationwide. The method, developed by the Medicines and Healthcare products ...
Researchers sequenced the genomes of three medakas, or Japanese rice fish, which are a common model organism used for ...
