In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises ...

A team of researchers have developed an easy-to-use colorimetric assay for the detection of food contaminated with salmonella. The assay is based on a novel nucleic acid probe that is cleaved by an ...

New molecule halts mitochondrial DNA loss before it triggers inflammation. When environmental stress harms DNA, it can set off a cascade of failures linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration and ...

Mitochondrial DNA has long been treated as a workhorse record of cellular history, but new research suggests it also hides a subtle and previously overlooked form of damage. By uncovering this cryptic ...

New live-cell DNA damage sensor lets scientists watch repair unfold in real time, potentially opening doors for cancer and aging research.

BHQnova ™ Probes are double-quenched hydrolysis probes with enhanced quenching and greater signal-to-noise ratio for long probes (>25 bases). Such probes consist of a 5' fluorophore dye, a 3' Black ...

DNA can signal the presence of or predisposition to a slew of diseases, including cancer. The ability to flag down these clues, known as biomarkers, allows medical professionals to make critical early ...

We recently caught up with Dr. Emily Leproust, CEO of Twist Bioscience, to discuss her company's innovative offerings at the recent Advances in Genome Biology and Technology Conference (AGBT) in ...

Gathering genetic material from treetops in tropical rainforests would be a near-impossible task to perform safely by hand. That's why scientists have developed a system that allows a drone to do the ...
