Scientists have gained tremendous control over the genome with CRISPR editing systems, that use a guide RNA molecule to ...

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily. So for ...

The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

Every cell in your body faces the same engineering puzzle: how to cram roughly two meters of DNA into a nucleus just a few ...

Stanford develops protein-to-DNA method enabling high-throughput protein sequencing Technique detects up to 1,000 times more ...

Scientists are finding ways to merge biology with electronics, unlocking new possibilities for data storage and computing.

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 ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A Tokyo team built a neutral PEG-DNA complex that boosted gene expression in mouse muscle, avoiding cation-linked inflammation.

Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...
