In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Despite decades of chasing leads, investigators had been unable to identify the victim of a 1992 homicide on the North Side.

Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they ...

Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing ...

"By cleverly combining new techniques for analyzing DNA at the level of individual molecules, we can achieve real breakthroughs in research into conditions such as dementia," predicts Professor John ...

When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and fungi – microorganisms that, if actually present in tumor tissues, could influence how ...
