The binding of proteins to DNA is crucial for producing other proteins, ensuring that all the necessary processes in cells are performed, and for switching genes on or off. Proteins that bind to DNA ...

Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic ...

A global team mapped over 100,000 structural variants in human genomes by applying Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing and a ...

What makes the human brain distinctive? A new study published July 21 in Cell identifies two genes linked to human brain ...

Next-generation sequencing deals with exponential growth in sequence databases; the primary challenge is aligning short-read sequences in a time-efficient manner. Despite numerous efforts in ...

Once the DNA is extracted, scientists use a microarray, a small tool that contains thousands of sites, each of which binds to different variations of a DNA sequence.

How can you write data to DNA without changing the base sequence? A new method lets anyone with a kit write data to DNA with just one enzyme.
