Scientists uncover hidden ‘geometric code’ that helps DNA compute and remember
For decades, scientists believed the essence of life was written solely in four chemical bases: A, C, T, and G. Together, ...
Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can ...
Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?
WEST MICHIGAN — October is Menopause Awareness Month, and the focus on the role of DNA sequencing in women's health during menopause is an emerging frontier of medicine. Women often face a wave of new ...
Microbial DNA sequencing reveals nutrient pollution and climate change reinforce lake eutrophication
The algal blooms increasingly seen in Canadian lakes have been linked to both nutrient pollution from agricultural runoff and climate change. However, a new Concordia-led study using DNA sequencing of ...
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The cassette tape. A staple of the Walkmans, car stereos, and sappy ...
Researchers including those at the University of Tokyo have made a surprising discovery hiding in people's mouths: Inocles, giant DNA elements that had previously escaped detection. These appear to ...
Chimpanzees, along with bonobos, are humans' closest living relatives. In fact, you may have heard that humans and chimps share 98.8% of their DNA. But is this actually true? And what does "similar ...
An analysis of the bones and teeth of ancient mammoths (Mammuthus) has identified some of the microorganisms that lived in the animals’ mouths and bodies more than one million years ago. The study, ...
