Every day, billions of cells in your body divide, helping to replace old and injured cells with new ones. And each time this ...

Kokoris came up with the idea of solving some of the noise issue of nanopore sequencing by converting DNA into larger surrogate polymers, and he cofounded sequencing company Stratos Genomics back in ...

A Sanger sequencing reaction is run with a single primer. The following table lists the recommended amount of DNA template and primer for optimal Sanger sequencing results. Note: for plasmid DNA the ...

Determining the number of copies of a double stranded DNA template (be it genomic DNA, plasmid or an amplified fragment) is essential for many genetic quantification applications in research and ...

Scientists use RNA origami to fold biomolecules into nanotubes, forming cytoskeleton-like structures, advancing synthetic biology toward artificial cells.

Strand slippage can also lead to deletion mutations. A deletion mutation occurs when a wrinkle forms on the DNA template strand and subsequently causes a nucleotide to be omitted from the ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA and RNA. PCR involves the enzymatic amplification of ...

This approach, named "epi-bits," uses enzymatic methylation to mark specific positions on universal DNA templates. Unlike traditional methods, this technique does not require de novo DNA synthesis ...

(1) Protected deoxynucleotide triphosphate (dNTP) and tethered dNTP approaches both use terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), a unique and specialized DNA polymerase that does not require a ...
