Studying endangered animal species without disturbing them and disrupting their natural habitat could be highly advantageous, ...

Scientists are exploring DNA-based robots, tiny molecular machines that could one day navigate the body, deliver targeted therapies, and even build nanoscale technologies.

DNA synthesis is vital to several processes in biopharmaceutical innovation, including the development of gene therapies, CRISPR gene editing, antisense oligonucleotides and RNA therapies. The need ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

Researchers working with dried fungal specimens stored at Australia’s National Herbarium of Victoria have identified two new species of fungi by applying DNA sequencing to long-held collections. The ...

MASSIVELY parallel sequencing (MPS) has transformed forensic DNA analysis by allowing scientists to examine multiple DNA markers simultaneously and in far greater detail than earlier methods. Despite ...
