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 ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars, ...

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 ...

Cornell 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 response, ...

Transcriptomic Predictors of Survival for Palbociclib + Endocrine Therapy Versus Capecitabine in Aromatase Inhibitor–Resistant Breast Cancer From the GEICAM/2013-02 PEARL Trial Our findings revealed a ...

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard bases — a task once thought too ...

Long-read genome sequencing reveals autism gene variants and structural changes, helping explain missing heritability and advancing precision diagnostics.

In a French criminal trial, conventional DNA analysis couldn’t distinguish between twin brothers, but emerging scientific ...

Newborn babies admitted to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) rely on the quick decisions and rapid action of the medical team responsible for them. DNA testing is critical to ...
