Sequence motifs are short, recurring patterns in DNA that are presumed to have a biological function. Often they indicate sequence-specific binding sites for proteins such as nucleases and ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree.

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This ...

The community would really benefit from more security awareness. For example, every research sample, such as a tube with a DNA plasmid, has two facets: a computer record that contains information ...

The research is published in the journal Nature. The study comprehensively analyzed "cis-regulatory elements" (CREs), which are the DNA sequences that regulate gene transcription. This work sheds ...

Advances in genomics (the methods we use to sequence some or all of our DNA) and reductions in the time and cost of sequencing mean it may now be possible to use genomics in newborn bloodspot ...

What may be the first commercially available book saved in DNA is the latest example of how consumers might use molecular data storage.
