Many epigenetics applications leverage the power of single-cell DNA methylation sequencing, which provides unprecedented insight into cellular heterogeneity and gene regulation. Scale Bio offers a ...

They also tend to use heat to separate strands, heating the DNA to more than 150°F, a temperature a cell would never naturally reach. By contrast, in a living cell DNA lives in a very crowded ...

But those cells have a formidable challenge. The average dividing cell must copy—perfectly—3.2 billion base pairs of DNA, about once every 24 hours. The cell’s replication machinery does an ...

DNA repair: A look inside the cell's 'repair café' Date: November 21, 2024 Source: Hubrecht Institute Summary: New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the ...

Genome instability can cause numerous diseases. Cells have effective DNA repair mechanisms at their disposal. A research team has now gained new insights into the DNA damage response. Whenever ...

Their engineered cells can insert distinctive bits of genetic material into their DNA. As the cells divide, those genetic bits turn into distinctive bar codes. The technology is also allowing ...

An engineering researcher at RIT has discovered the means to process data using DNA. Their biocomputing design is a breakthrough that builds on innovative DNA engineering and computing system advances ...

Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between generations of living things. Present in nearly every living cell, DNA molecules are among the largest molecules known to ...
