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 ...

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 ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Microzone in the United Kingdom has recently introduced microLYSIS, a reagent designed to lyse a wide variety of different cell types prior to PCR. MicroLYSIS is a proprietary mixture of detergents ...

A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential ...

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.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have caught DNA-copying enzymes generating long stretches of genetic code without ...

New England Biolabs (NEB) has introduced the Monarch ® Mag PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (5 µg), a magnetic bead-based system for high-throughput purification of PCR products and DNA. The kit enables ...

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a light-induced DNA ...
