This cell-like structure can grow, feed, divide and compete. Researchers ponder what it means for the future of synthetic ...

Oligonucleotides are short nucleic acid polymers used in research, genetic testing and forensics. Oligonucleotides are usually made up of 13 to 25 nucleotides and are designed to hybridize ...

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 ...

Figure 1: RNA-seq data uses short reads of mRNA which is free of intronic non-coding DNA. These reads must then be aligned back to the reference genome. Credit: Technology Networks. Early RNA-seq ...

cDNA microarray is an innovative technology that facilitates the analysis of the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously. The utilization of this methodology, which is rapidly evolving, ...

Reviewed by Dr. Tomislav Meštrović, MD, Ph.D. Microarray or biochip is a lab-oriented microscope slide that is usually made of glass, silicon chip, or nylon membrane. It is a 2D array (sometimes 3D) ...

The global DNA synthesis market size was calculated at USD 4.97 billion in 2024 and is predicted to surpass around USD 29.98 billion by 2034 with a solid CAGR of 19.73% from 2025 to 2034. In terms of ...

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 ...

Martin D. Burke, a professor of chemistry at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, made waves in the synthetic chemistry and chemical biology communities earlier this year with a Science paper ...
