The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

Centuries-old genetic material can solve historical mysteries, from lost species to what killed Napoleon’s army.

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 ...

A*STAR scientists have developed a new method to directly and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard “letters” (bases) ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of ...

“I fell in love with surface science during my PhD,” says Cassandra Reese. "It's really interesting and can support so many different applications," she adds. In October 2020, Reese joined the surface ...

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 ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...

Whole-genome sequencing reads every DNA base. This shifts medicine from diagnosing disease based on symptoms to molecular ...

Mitochondria are often described as the cell’s power plants, but a wave of new research suggests their genetic material may ...
