As mice are a vital model organism and DNA methylation is commonly used in epigenetic studies, researchers have developed a high-throughput genomic array for DNA methylation for a more detailed view ...

For some tumor entities, however, classical cytogenetics has been less successful because of the complexity of karyotypes or difficulty of culturing tumor cells in vitro. Chromosomal comparative ...

Toyohashi University of Technology research team led by Prof. Rika Numano and Prof. Takeshi Kawano showed DNA stamper injections can be performed delivering biomolecules into live neuronal cells ...

A new method for reading DNA (or RNA) microarrays is based on measuring the electrostatic repulsion between silica microspheres and hybridized DNA. Surface areas containing double-stranded DNA (red) ...

Microarrays present researchers with something of a catch-22: In order to find something, you have to know what you're looking for. If you're looking for new functional elements, your microarray needs ...

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and their associated proteins constitute a recently identified prokaryotic defense system against invading nucleic acids. DNA ...

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and the University of Maryland (UMD) have demonstrated a deceptively simple technique ...
