In the study of bacteria, a longstanding dogma has held that two molecular machines—RNA polymerase, which leads the way in ...

Accurate RNA splicing is essential for gene expression and human health, yet predicting how DNA sequence variations affect ...

Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto researchers are reporting that targeted RNA sequencing can detect clinically actionable alterations in 87% of tumors and provide decisive findings where DNA-seq ...

For more than three decades, researchers studying genomes have relied on foundational resources such as Repbase and, more ...

Zymo Research, a global leader in the field of epigenetics, microbiomics and transcriptomics, proudly announces the launch of its latest innovation, the Zymo-Seq™ SPLAT DNA Library Kit. This ...

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 ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

It’s a bit like giving the soil a DNA test.” A new droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) method quantifies root DNA directly from soil ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars, ...
