A new gene drive can copy and paste itself into the genomes of herpes simplex viruses in mice. The end goal is a version that disables the virus in humans.

It's possible to amplify a tiny amount of genetic material into a much larger sample by providing raw nucleobases and a template DNA ... to do the work of DNA replication. The process is called the ...

Sep. 25, 2024 — Scientists successfully extracted and analyzed DNA from ancient cheese samples found alongside the Tarim Basin mummies in China, dating back approximately 3,600 years.

This important work shows how a simple geophysical setting of gas flow over a narrow channel of water can create a physical environment that leads to the isothermal replication of nucleic acids. The ...

Produced by ElevenLabs and News Over Audio (NOA) using AI narration. DNA might contain health information, but unlike a doctor’s office, 23andMe is not bound by the health-privacy law HIPAA.

However, it has shown limitations in terms of high costs and inefficiencies. The productivity and accuracy of DNA methylation detection rely critically on the optimization of methodologies and the ...

British scientists have stored DNA information for an entire human on a crystal, which could be used to bring back humanity if we become extinct. The team from the University of Southampton's ...

The DNA was used as a template to PCR amplification of the 435 bp MCP gene fragment using designed primers PCR-MCP-F/R. Briefly, after an initial denaturation step at 94°C for 5 min, denaturation at ...

In 2015, a paleoanthropology team discovered jaw remains of a roughly 42,000-year-old Neanderthal in France. Over the next several years, the team, lead by Ludovic Slimak, found more of the ...

Finding a naturally occurring DNA-protein hybrid and determining how a bacterium can be induced to make it would streamline what is now a slow, labor-intensive process, Nair said. "Lots of high ...
