Reimagined undergrad class teaches students entire DNA sequencing process using cutting-edge devices A biomolecular engineering course has recently been redesigned to give students experience with the ...

Molecular biology is an ever-changing field, and most significant developments have happened because of changes in plasmid DNA sequencing. A plasmid, a circular and small double-stranded DNA entity ...

With a way to sequence DNA in space, astronauts could diagnose an illness, or identify microbes growing in the International Space Station and determine whether or not they represent a health threat.

The powerful method, called Chem-map, lifts the veil of this genomic black box by enabling researchers to detect where small molecule drugs interact with their targets on the DNA genome.

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 ...

Another exciting use for this method is in DNA barcoding, a way to tag proteins with tiny strands of DNA to track or analyze them. Until now, scientists couldn’t combine DNA barcoding with traditional ...
