Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred to as non-B DNA—have been implicated as regulators of cellular ...

Parts of our DNA may evolve much faster than previously thought Date: April 23, 2025 Source: University of Utah Health Summary: A team of researchers has used advanced DNA sequencing to develop ...

Chemical modifications in DNA enable hidden messages for secure data transmission. Here, authors develop DeepSME, a nanopore sequencing and deep-learning framework that conceals data into DNA ...

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 ...

Justin Wilke, the band’s captain, had discovered the massive tree the day before and dubbed her “Bertha.” Wilke had established three dispersed campsites in the Elk Lake vicinity ...

In the earliest hours after fertilization, an embryo takes its first steps toward becoming a living organism by shedding ...

Crocodilians include alligators, crocodiles and caimans. The team used the data to create an evolutionary tree for all of them. The researchers noted that the tree could be used to help make ...

By removing the bottlenecks of traditional cloning, researchers can now access longer, high-complexity, sequence-perfect DNA quickly—empowering rapid design, synthesis, and testing. As these ...

and it marks the completion of a decade-long project to sequence the DNA of Hong Kong's floral emblem, the Hong Kong Orchid Tree Bauhinia x blakeana Dunn. The study, published in GigaScience and ...

The unique properties of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have made it a useful tool for forensic ... highlighting the importance of sequence context in the expression of mutations. To investigate whether ...
