The collection of high-quality genomic DNA remains a major barrier in pediatric and neurodevelopmental research, particularly ...

We have developed this method as an alternative to direct probe/target hybridization, which when used to study mutations in exon 11 of BRCA1 7, failed to detect the presence of the 1128insA mutation.

PHILADELPHIA -- Using customized DNA arrays to assess the activity of 4,500 different genes in a leukemic form of lymphoma known as Sezary syndrome, researchers at The Wistar Institute have identified ...

"We are in the midst of a revolution in the way researchers study infectious disease—instead of depending on culture dishes as the only way to observe the behavior of pathogens, scientists are able to ...

Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient paper-folding art of origami. More recently, some of these teams started ...

Following the Silicon Valley pattern of jamming more power into less space, Santa Clara's Affymetrix will disclose today that it has packed most of the human genome onto two DNA chips. Previously, ...

A new class of autonomous nanorobots built from reconfigurable DNA origami arrays has been developed by researchers from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Emory University, and the Georgia ...

As mice are a vital model organism and DNA methylation is commonly used in epigenetic studies, researchers have developed a high-throughput genomic array for DNA methylation for a more detailed view ...

Using scaffolds of folded DNA, engineers assembled arrays of quantum rods with desirable photonic properties that could enable them to be used as highly efficient micro-LEDs for televisions or virtual ...
