Every living thing has DNA, the blueprint for life. These genetic blueprints separate us as species and, further, as individuals. The human genome — the complete set of DNA found in all humans — is ...

Current genetic sequencing techniques can provide much information about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or a drop of blood. But they are unable to reveal where ...

Researchers at California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, Stockholm University and Uppsala University are working on a smartphone-based microscope in hopes of developing a cost-effective and accessible ...

Imagine a diagnostic test so simple that it needs nothing more exotic than a microscope, a microfluidic chip, and a handful ...

Metal ions bridging the grooves of two DNA helices explain how they lock together, the first direct look at the DNA zipper ...

A record player-like microscope and computer simulations solve a longtime mystery, showing that metal ions bridge DNA strands that would normally repel.

Tennessee halts executions after death row inmate survives two lethal injections Exclusive: ‘Not normal’: Farmer couple’s shock split laid bare Ronaldo sensationally walks out, vows to tell 'truth' ...

Joshua Weinstein spent hours in graduate school pulverizing zebrafish in a blender. That was a normal first step toward sequencing the fish’s genes, but it had a high “ick” factor — and he felt like ...
