Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, has been published in Nature Communications.

While non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has revolutionised prenatal diagnostics by allowing the detection of a number of ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars, ...

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

A new DNA sequencing technique that delivers faster and more accurate bacterial infection diagnoses could be implemented nationwide. The method, developed by the Medicines and Healthcare products ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Arima Genomics, Inc., a cancer diagnostics company bringing DNA sequence and structure together to advance cancer therapy ...

Researchers at the Center for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM) have developed a new system that combines spore trapping ...

Every human cell packs roughly two meters of DNA into a nucleus only six micrometers wide. That ratio, confirmed by ...
