The pond at Oxford University Parks is not much to look at. It is a small, artificial freshwater basin on the edge of campus, ...

In April 2021, Jamie McGowan was running a routine test. A computational biologist at the Earlham Institute in Norwich, ...

When scientist J. Craig Venter and his team announced in 2010 that they had created the first cell controlled by a fully synthetic genome, it marked a turning point in how scientists think about life.

A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...

Modern biology is awash in data. Scientists can sequence DNA, track gene activity cell-by-cell, map proteins in space, and image tissues at microscopic resolution. However, it is a struggle to put all ...

More than 20 years after people got a peek at the first draft of the human genome, our genetic instruction book, researchers have unlocked the next level: the human pangenome. The more complete ...

From Genryo’s Sidewinder technology to the Festival of Genomics & Biodata in the UK earlier this year – AI might be trending, ...

What’s the story behind DNA melting temperature analysis? UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy can be used to assess the characteristics of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a naturally occurring polymer ...

DNA, the language of biology, is driving all synthetic biology applications, from animal-free meat to life-saving therapeutics. It should come as no surprise that DNA synthesis is a hot and ...

DNA is the language of life, and DNA sequencing has allowed us to dive into the genetic code that evolved over the last 3.5 billion years. As sequencing has become faster and cheaper, the scale of ...
