Somatic mutations, the DNA changes that occur as our bodies grow and age, not only hold an important key to cancer but are ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

DNA methylation — the chemical tagging of cytosine bases that helps decide which genes are on and which are silent — is one ...

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.

Field-based genome sequencing helped scientists describe Purpureocillium atlanticum, a new fungus that kills trapdoor spiders ...

A team from the Andalusian Center for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER) has developed an innovative technique called PLAMseq (proximity-labeled affinity-purified mass spectrometry ...

Whole-genome testing uncovered hidden cancer predisposition in children with leukemia, changing treatment and surveillance in ...

Bacteria are among the most diverse lifeforms on Earth, so it’s no surprise that their genomes have yielded a treasure trove of fascinating discoveries. The study of bacterial genomes has led to the ...

Two identical sisters came into the world carrying the same rare cancer. They lost their lives to an undifferentiated sarcoma ...
