Advances in sequencing technologies have accelerated the discovery of the genetic causation of diseases and new cell types. This revolution has also given rise to a new technique known as genetic ...
The task of identifying Earth's estimated 10 million species has daunted biologists for centuries - fewer than two million have been named. Using a technique called DNA barcoding, researchers at ...
With the ability to map dozens of biomarkers at once, a new method could transform testing for conditions including heart disease and cancer. With the ability to map dozens of biomarkers at once, a ...

Anyone who watches murder mystery TV shows or listens to true-crime podcasts has probably heard of the use of DNA analysis in forensic science to exonerate or implicate a suspect. But what if DNA ...
Reliable technique should improve clinical trials, nutrition studies and historical research DURHAM, N.C. – What people say they’ve eaten and what they’ve actually eaten are often two very different ...
Gene therapy and engineering is a promising area of research for the treatment of various genetic diseases. Therapy involves manipulating stem cells and transplanting them into recipients allowing the ...
A new project, BioAlfa, proposes to use DNA barcoding to identify Costa Rica’s million- plus species. BioAlfa argues that public availability of its barcoding will revolutionize how Costa Rica values ...
As potential developments in the automation of DNA fingerprinting threaten to introduce vulnerabilities in the system, researchers develop ‘genetic barcodes’ to prevent sample tampering. DNA ...
