The DNA tissue sample taken from a baby left in an Iowa City landfill in 1992 was so "degraded and contaminated" that traditional DNA testing couldn't help investigators identify the infant or his mother.

Researchers at Beijing Genomics and IMDEA Nanociencia institutes have introduced a novel method that could significantly accelerate efficiency and reduce the cost of handling fluidics in DNA sequencing.

MGI’s sequencers offer the best “comprehensive value” in terms of time, quality and cost, Yin said in an interview on the sidelines of the BioHK 2025 conference on Thursday. Yin, 46, pointed out that MGI’s latest product,

The giant DNA loops were discovered through a careful study of saliva samples from 56 volunteers, with further tests conducted on 476 samples to determine the prevalence of Inocles in the general population. Around three-quarters of us could be carrying the elements, the data shows.

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals that cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) promote DNA replication licensing in human cells by relieving inhibitory signals from RB tumor suppressor proteins.

A $49,500 educational matching grant from Beckman-Coulter, Inc. will allow the biology department at Calvin College to purchase a capillary electrophoresis DNA sequencer. The state-of-the-art DNA sequencer, which replaces a 10-year old model, will give ...

A traditional cassette tape holds roughly 10 to 12 songs on each side, but 328 feet of this DNA cassette tape could hold the same amount of data in over 3 billion songs. The prototype’s total capacity is 36 petabytes of data, the same size as 36,000 terabyte hard drives.

Scientists in Colombia have discovered a previously unknown lineage of human beings after fully sequencing the DNA of ancient remains excavated at archeological sites near the country’s capital Bogota.
