Advances in sequencing technologies have accelerated the discovery of the genetic causation of diseases and new cell types. This revolution has also given rise to a new technique known as genetic ...

Using tiny snippets of DNA as 'barcodes,' researchers have developed a new technique for rapidly screening the ability of nanoparticles to selectively deliver therapeutic genes to specific organs of ...

Researchers have used publicly available data to develop a sequence library of the rbcL gene, a popular barcode in plants, for use in DNA metabarcoding studies. Using both the rbcL and an already ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Article reviewed by Ninning Liu, PhD from the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. Similar to retail stores that use standardized ...

FEM2-Ambiente has developed a DNA barcoding tool for food companies to verify ingredients and trace contaminants in both raw and processed foods. Biotech company FEM2 (Food, Environment, ...

Conservation geneticists who study sea turtles have a new tool to help track this highly migratory and endangered group of marine animals: DNA barcodes. DNA barcodes are short genetic sequences that ...

Barcoding technologies using the high information content encoded in oligonucleotide sequences have aided various applications in biotechnology, especially when paired with next-generation DNA ...

If whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is like clicking through a DVD frame by frame, and if fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is like scanning the scene-selection menu, a new technology may offer ...
