Promising new inroads into critical DNA testing has been forecast by experts who have applied machine learning to DNA profiling. From medical diagnostics to forensic tests and national security, PCR ...

By Offering Amplicon and Hybrid Capture on a Single Bioinformatics platform, the Company Expands Capabilities to Cover ...

Digital PCR (dPCR) is the third generation of PCR technology, after conventional PCR and real-time quantitative PCR. It offers significant benefits over these other methods, making it ideal for a wide ...

Cornell (NY, USA) researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune ...

The epigenetic modification, DNA methylation, is characterized by 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and found in specific genomic locations, most notably regulatory regions such as promoters and enhancers.

In 2003, Kary Mullis took The Scientist readers behind the scenes of the night in 1983 when he came up with the idea for PCR. He included a photo of his lab notebook that depicts his very first ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing ...
