A team of scientists has created a new guide to advance standards for collecting and cataloging DNA from marine species, ...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) quantification is crucial in understanding mitochondrial dysfunction, which is linked to a variety of diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Traditional ...

Researchers engineered Shewanella oneidensis to produce extracellular DNA hydrogels, enabling the development of biohybrid ...

In the early 1990s, the FBI had begun exploring STR markers, whose short, two- to six-base pair sequences made them more efficient with PCR, which provided faster and more reliable amplification than ...

In the study, "Amplification-free, OR-gated CRISPR-Cascade reaction for pathogen detection in blood samples," published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers conducted a ...

Their CRISPR-Cascade reaction utilizes two ribonucleoprotein complexes, T1 and T2, to achieve amplification-free detection of pathogenic DNA. Upon target recognition, Cas12a in the T1 complex ...
