Nearly 25 years after scientists completed a draft human genome sequence, many of its 3.1 billion letters remain a puzzle. The 98% of the genome that is not made of protein-coding genes — but which ...
Researchers at Chiba University have developed a nanopore sequencing workflow that identifies fungal species in blood culture samples within about seven hours, before cultures turn positive, ...
Researchers are exploring how DNA–protein hydrogels can turn molecular information into mechanical and functional properties ...
DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...
