Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. “It’s a huge achievement,” says Rayan Chikhi, a biocomputing researcher at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. “They set a new ...

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

The company, based in Norcross, GA, manufactures more than 900 DNA and RNA isolation products used in clinical research, biotechnology, genomics, and agriculture.

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

I think it's amusing when scientific lingo finds its way into popular speech, because it is often distorted in interesting ways. When political commentators talk about a "litmus test" they're not ...

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 ...
