Scientists have developed the first software package for automating DNA construction that not only makes the process faster and more efficient but -- with an eye on the economics of scientific ...

Human DNA has been notated and visualized by a computer program at a university in Turkey’s capital. “We notated and visualized DNA in our project,” Elif Surer, a scientist at Middle East Technical ...

In new research appearing in the current issue of the journal Science Advances, Hao Yan and his colleagues, in collaboration with scientists at MIT, describe a method allowing for the automation of ...

We are seeing the rise of the 'just order it' approach to getting desired DNA. DNA synthesis and assembly services are replacing many cloning efforts—the hands-on DNA manipulation performed by highly ...

Since its introduction in 1992 (ref. 1), comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) has facilitated the analysis of genome-wide copy number changes particularly for tissues such as solid tumors, from ...

The human body is a remarkably complex machine, so it would make sense that it houses an abundance of DNA – the blueprints that help guide the body's growth and repair. But how much DNA do our bodies ...

DNA is the blueprint of all life, giving instruction and function to organisms ranging from simple one-celled bacteria to complex human beings. Now Northwestern University researchers report they have ...

Nature has made extravagant use of a simple molecule--DNA, the floorplan of all earthly life. Inventive researchers have used the same base-pairing properties that bond two strands of DNA into the ...
