For decades, scientists have struggled to untangle the genetic complexity of crops with multiple chromosome sets. Now, researchers have unveiled a cost-effective sequencing method, dpMIG-seq, that ...

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.

For the first time ever, DNA was successfully sequenced in microgravity as part of the Biomolecule Sequencer experiment performed by NASA astronaut Kate Rubins this weekend aboard the International ...

This research, led by Prof. Haichen Wu from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and Prof. Lei Liu from the Institute of High Energy Physics, CAS, alongside their ...

While next generation sequencing (NGS) has become a staple method for some researchers, it is often out of reach due to its high cost and technical challenges. To solve this problem, a novel ...

An easily implemented genome-sequencing method could help public health officials combat America's ongoing syphilis epidemic, researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine and Public ...

Whether you’re interested in why a living system works as it does or the reasons it goes awry, proteins are a critical part of the molecular picture. The proteins circulating in a person’s plasma can ...

Researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune ...
