Most procedures for extracting DNA from general substrates involve manipulations that reduce yields and expose the sample to potential contamination. Additionally, most methods also require ...

Automated genomic DNA (gDNA) extraction is essential for ensuring reliable results in downstream molecular biology ...

Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a cancer affecting skin and internal organs for which the Kaposi’s sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a necessary cause. Previous work has pursued KS diagnosis by ...

We present a DNA extraction protocol for atmospheric bioaerosol samples collected on glass-fiber filters widely used in air quality monitoring. The protocol produces high-quality molecules suitable ...

Call it the science of small, but a trio of University of Florida chemical engineers have developed a lab-on-a-chip process that could make a big difference for DNA research and, ultimately, patients.

Genetic anthropologist Jennifer Raff walks through the delicate and precise art of obtaining DNA samples from centuries-old human remains. The following is an excerpt from Origin: A Genetic History of ...
