A new RapidHIT ID machine, which bears a passing resemblance to an air fryer, can generate a human DNA profile in about 90 ...

Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). These little circles of DNA can hitch a ride with ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Authorities shut down an illegal cannabis extraction lab southwest of Santa Rosa this week after finding large amounts of highly flammable and volatile chemicals chemicals stored inside a warehouse, ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - More than 500 missing and murdered children in the United States remain unidentified and unaccounted for, with many families left without answers for decades. Othram, a DNA ...

The New York Stem Cell Foundation, a $23-million-a-year biomedical nonprofit, was acquired by the Jackson Laboratory as part of a move to expand automation in life sciences research. The acquisition, ...

SAN ANTONIO – The Bexar County Crime Lab has access to the national DNA database that helps match samples and identify possible criminals. CODIS, which stands for “Combined DNA Index System,” is a ...

Human embryos have been developed from eggs given the DNA of adult skin cells – a feat that had previously been achieved in mice. This could one day provide a way for same-sex couples or women with ...

A clump of proteins seems to be in charge of the level of DNA repair that takes place in our bodies, determining how fast mutations accumulate in our cells over a lifetime – and might thus affect our ...
