Here, we describe a simple protocol for the construction of a metagenomic DNA library, optimized and tested by a team of undergraduate biotechnology students. This protocol is based on a technique ...

Much of the "junk" DNA in Drosophila shows signs of either negative or positive selection, according to a study in this week's Nature. An analysis by Peter Andolfatto of the University of California, ...

Why some organs age faster than others: Scientists discover hidden mutations in non-coding DNA by University of Geneva Editors' notes ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have discovered non-coding genetic variants contributing to chemotherapy resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the non-coding regions of the genome contributing to chemotherapy resistance in acute lymphoblastic ...

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. Explore new technology used in the St. Jude-led discovery.

This work revealed that such mutations in non-coding regions can have a significant impact on the levels of mRNA. "We designed a high throughput experiment capable of simultaneously assessing a vast ...

It is possible to classify images simply by analysing the way that trillions of DNA molecules in a test tube connect together into different shapes. Conventional computers must be fully assembled ...

In this paper, we propose a novel conservative chaotic standard map-driven dynamic DNA coding (encoding, addition, subtraction and decoding) for image encryption. It is the first hybrid DNA and ...
