A hot potato: Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) faces mounting scrutiny over its cyber vulnerabilities. While NGS has revolutionized fields ranging from cancer diagnostics to infectious disease ...

Studies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have shown a three- to fourfold higher nucleotide diversity in chimpanzees compared with humans 1, as well as a greater extent of mtDNA sequence variation in ...

Scientists’ capacity to perform genetic engineering, design new medical tests and therapies, and understand gene functions has skyrocketed thanks to the ability to design specific DNA sequences that ...

The centromere mainly strengthens one of the two paths of force transduction, influenced by the centromeric DNA sequence. The mechanism underlying this phenomenon will be an exciting future avenue of ...

With bobbing shorebirds as company, a group of UC Santa Cruz undergraduate students collect water samples from this dynamic but understudied environment, to bring them back to campus and identify the ...

Unlike PCR, which amplifies DNA sequences by making millions of copies of target DNA for detection, this method directly detects DNA by concentrating it and enhancing specificity through strong ...

BINSEQ is a binary format designed for efficient storage of fixed-length DNA sequences, using 2-bit encoding for nucleotides. VBINSEQ is a binary format designed for efficient storage of ...

The sample then undergoes a process called DNA sequencing to identify the exact ATCG coding in the DNA. The result is run through a computer to compare the sequence to that of the human genome ...
