Ancient DNA from a rare Neanderthal fetus, known from only 12 fragmented bones, provided insight into an earlier evolutionary branch and helped researchers trace a massive population crash that ...

Syndex Bio, announced the introduction of its proprietary mcPCR™ (methyl-copying PCR) platform at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) conference in Orlando, Florida. mcPCR enables ...

New England Biolabs (NEB) has introduced the Monarch ® Mag PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (5 µg), a magnetic bead-based system for high-throughput purification of PCR products and DNA. The kit enables ...

When Guillermo del Toro saw James Whale’s Frankenstein for the first time, aged seven, it was a divine experience. “On Sundays we would go to church, then buy something for lunch and bring it to the ...

“The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we conceived of life itself. The X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin ...

Dark in presentation but soft at their heart, Guillermo del Toro's films are best understood as macabre fairy tales of outcasts and outsiders. Guillermo del Toro is a director associated with the dark ...

Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is easily one of the most anticipated films of the year. But for Del Toro, it’s also the culmination of decades of dreaming. The Oscar-winning genre auteur has waited ...

The human genome is chock full of what scientists once considered "junk DNA." This DNA is actually something called transposable elements, or TEs. These are repetitive sequences found in the genome ...

Scientists manufacture many biotherapeutic products in immortalized cell lines, most commonly HEK293. Residual HEK293 DNA in biotherapeutic candidates can harbor tumorigenic or retroviral sequences ...

Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing ...

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a light-induced DNA ...
