A new long-read sequencing technique has helped researchers investigate how DNA mutations arise in a variety of contexts. A collaboration of researchers led by NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular "letters" that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...

New research from a team of genome scientists and DNA damage response experts breaks new ground in understanding the function of a protein currently limited in clinical trials for cancer treatments.

A rapid isothermal amplification technique enables pathogen identification and antibiotic resistance detection in low-resource settings. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is a technique for ...

DNA is well known as the blueprint of life, necessary for an organism to facilitate living processes. DNA can be damaged by various factors such as radical metabolites, radiation, and some toxic ...

A wealth of information lies within DNA, but current technologies limit scientists’ exploration of genetics, epigenetics, and gene expression. Modern sequencing technologies typically analyze one -ome ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...
