Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don’t tell you where specific genetic ...
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 ...
MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...
Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), used to treat genetic diseases, can affect how cells repair damage to their DNA. This is ...
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 ...
