AGBT is also, increasingly, a showcase for instruments for spatial biology, a fast-growing field that involves pinpointing the location of RNA and protein molecules en masse. Tarbox calls the meeting ...

November 20, 2024 – Genome Research (https://genome.org) publishes a special issue highlighting advances in long-read sequencing applications in biology and medicine. In this first of two Special ...

French DNA storage pioneer Biomemory has acquired rival Catalog, and told us where it sees the technology in the years ahead.

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Researchers at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology have uncovered new evidence that two major types of gene-controlling DNA sequences, promoters and enhancers, operate with a shared ...

Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) has transformed the way scientists understand genetics. With the ability to sequence DNA and RNA faster and cheaper than ever before, this technology is reshaping ...

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 ...

To understand more fully the role of RNA and its modifications in living systems, researchers will need robust, reproducible, and accessible tools and techniques capable of identifying all RNA ...
