The world of crime and DNA has evolved significantly over the past decade, including the use of phenotyping to help solve ...

A new bioinformatics tool, MHcut reveals that a natural repair system for DNA damage, microhomology-mediated end joining, is probably far more common in humans than originally assumed. Using MHcut and ...

Analysis of Roche KAPA Target Enrichment kit experimental data obtained on an Illumina sequencing system is most frequently performed using a variety of publicly available, open-source analysis tools.

The use of computational techniques and information systems has revolutionized research in the biological sciences — from the analysis of DNA sequences and the understanding of gene expression and ...

A computer science lab challenges -- and beats -- deep learning in a test to see if a new bioinformatics approach effectively tracks the lab of origin of a synthetic genetic sequence. Tracking the ...

Researchers demonstrated that it is feasible to encode executable payloads into synthetic DNA that, once sequenced and ...

We are living in an era where biology has become synonymous with big data due to the ever-increasing amount of data being generated by technologies such as next-generation sequencing. Bioinformatics ...

My quest for the best free online sequence analysis site continues with DNA 2.0 Inc.’s Bioinformatics Toolbox. First, the toolset is extensive, with groupings of Format Conversion (14 applications), ...

In the past twenty years, major technological advances in extracting and analyzing DNA have transformed the ability to ...

Sediment DNA also traces life outside the cave. Predators dragged prey into sheltered chambers, humans left waste behind. By following changes in human, animal and microbial DNA over time, researchers ...
