A prototype cell partly capable of replicating itself has been created using 36 existing bacterial genes, but it's not really ...

Scientists have engineered a nanoscale switch using DNA "origami." Inspired by macroscale mechanical switches, the device achieves long-term functionality without the continuous forcing mechanism that ...

Definition: A microarray is a small, flat substrate carrying an ordered grid of microscopic probe features, each containing a known biological molecule, that is used to measure many molecular targets ...

Every scientist working with DNA ultimately needs to do one of two things—read or write the nucleotide sequence. Emily Leproust wants nothing less than to make Twist Bioscience the best at writing DNA ...

Reviewed by Dr. Tomislav Meštrović, MD, Ph.D. The microarray is a recently developed technology used in cancer research and in the pharmacological treatment of other diseases such as oral lesions. In ...

Background: The epidemiologic transition in Mexico has generated a change of paradigm in public health. Morbidity is characterized by infectious diseases and the mortality is due to chronic ...

Previous EWASs (Epigenome-Wide Association Studies) have reported hundreds of blood pressure (BP) associated 5′-cytosine-phosphate-guanine-3′ (CpG) sites. However, their results were inconsistent.

• Can simultaneously detect the impact of several metabolites. • Does not directly translate into changes in protein activity due to restrictions to protein-metabolite binding; It is worth mentioning ...

A microarray is a two-dimensional arrangement of biological samples allowing for high-throughput analysis of genetic information. DNA microarrays are commonly used to genotype multiple regions of a ...

The DNA testing company Color Genomics says that early next year it will offer customers a new type of gene analysis that could tell them if they are at risk of a heart attack. Here’s the problem, ...
