New technique can find deletions and duplications in the human genome
Copy number variants (CNVs) are a noteworthy reason for a few genetic disorders, making their identification an essential segment of genetic analysis pipelines. Current...
Researchers store digital images inside molecular thumb drive
Scientists at Brown University have taken a step forward toward storing huge amounts of data in molecular storage systems. The study has shown that...
New method to improve match between DNA sample to a face database
While predicting what someone's face looks like based on a DNA sample remains extremely problematic, it is getting easier to filter the right face...
Catch a virus by the tail
Some RNA viruses such as Segmented negative-sense (SNS) RNA viruses initiate infection by delivering into cells a suite of genomic RNA segments, each sheathed...
Study reveals key step in cell protein production from genes
DNA is the information molecule. It stores instructions for making other large molecules, called proteins. These instructions are stored inside each of your cells,...
Scientists created world’s first living organism with fully redesigned DNA
Scientists at Cambridge University have created the world’s first living organism that has a fully synthetic and radically altered DNA code.
They have replaced the...
New system that store data in organic molecules for millennia
Although the information is ubiquitous, and its technology arguably among the highest that humankind has produced, its very ubiquity has posed new types of...
Scientists have created the largest simulation of an entire gene of DNA
The growing interest in the complexity of biological interactions is continuously driving the need to increase system size in biophysical simulations, requiring not only...
Directed evolution method can engineer synthetic nanoparticles
Mimicking natural evolution, directed evolution guides the synthesis of proteins with improved or new functions. The technique is powerful enough that it can engineer...
