DNA synthesis is vital to several processes in biopharmaceutical innovation, including the development of gene therapies, CRISPR gene editing, antisense oligonucleotides and RNA therapies. The need ...

Researchers have found that the DNA spools inside human cells are far less tightly wound than textbooks have long suggested.

In just a few decades, DNA sequencing technologies evolved from slow, manual processes to rapid, automated ones, making ...

A new long-read DNA test improves rare disease diagnosis, replaces multiple existing tests, and could become the preferred ...

DNA is composed of long chains that act as the blueprint for living organisms. In genetic engineering, scientists cut DNA at ...

Nowadays, there's lots of buzz about spectacular new medical treatments such as personalised cancer therapy with modified immune cells or antibodies. Such treatments, however, are very complex and ...

Repeats of DNA sequences, often referred to as "junk DNA" or "dark matter," that are found in chromosomes and could contribute to cancer or other diseases have been challenging to identify and ...

Blood tests have proved to be a promising tool for detecting and monitoring cancer. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have now developed a new ...

DNA-based methods dominate molecular cancer diagnostics but struggle to detect gene fusions and assess splice site consequences. RNA sequencing enables sensitive fusion detection and direct assessment ...
