This radical new method could preserve our entire knowledge base for thousands of years, in a storage medium the size of a ...

A team reports achieving real-time single molecule electronic DNA sequencing at single-base resolution using a protein nanopore array. The work sets the stage for revolutionary, cost-effective genetic ...

DNA sequencing refers to the process of identifying the order of bases in a strand of DNA. DNA is comprised of nucleotides, with each nucleotide consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group and a base.

What if you could put a few bacterial cells into a USB stick, plug it into your laptop, and get back a complete DNA sequence in a matter of minutes? Oxford Nanopore has built a USB device that will do ...

Salk researchers uncovered a genetic mechanism that directs DNA methylation in Arabidopsis. Instead of relying solely on ...

Researchers in Egypt have developed a technique to compress DNA sequences of the kind used in medical research so that they take up a lot less space in a computer database but without loss of ...

It’s time to turn to sequencing the epigenome, the DNA modifications that alter gene expression and determine our individual genetic identity. DNA molecule with methylation on the center cytosine ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the ...

The building block of life is often heralded as the cornerstone of a new generation of electronic devices and computers, but the electronic properties of DNA remain highly controversial. 1 Back to ...
