Scientists have developed a new technique that could change how we design DNA for therapeutic and biotech applications. The challenge in synthetic biology has always been this: scientists can program ...

A team of scientists has created a new guide to advance standards for collecting and cataloging DNA from marine species, enhancing a revolutionary method for monitoring ocean biodiversity. The guide ...

Before the DNA revolution of the early 2000s, genealogy was a study dependent on records. Tracing a line of heritage could hit a dead end if documentation had gone missing or been destroyed. But as ...

Few pests eat away at farm profitability as much as soybean cyst nematode (SCN). Causing at least $1.5 billion in yield losses annually, it's soybean's single biggest threat. Unfortunately, soybean's ...

Every day, billions of cells in your body divide, helping to replace old and injured cells with new ones. And each time this happens, your entire genetic library—your genome, which totals more than 3 ...

A massively parallel reporter assay of 9,092 cortical-structure-associated variants reveals that Alu retrotransposons, Wnt ...

Most specimens will undergo DNA barcoding — a process that generates a unique genetic identifier for each species — with further in-depth genome sequencing performed on a representative of each ...

Newswise — URBANA, Ill. — Few pests eat away at farm profitability as much as soybean cyst nematode (SCN). Causing at least $1.5 billion in yield losses annually, it’s soybean’s single biggest threat.
