DNA synthesis by single polymerase molecules has been visualized at the speed of catalysis, heralding a new sequencing technology of unparalleled throughput. To enable parallel sequencing, the ...

The method is based on a naturally occurring process called epigenetic modification—chemical changes to the DNA that affect ...

Scientists from Peking University have discovered a method to store data on DNA 350 times faster than previous techniques.

Transcription of a gene begins when RNAP binds to a 'promoter' DNA sequence and ends at a 'terminator ... to pull RNAP polymerase along a DNA template, the researchers were able to show that ...

Through a computational biology step, so-called ‘barcode regions’ of DNA can then be used to identify, broadly speaking, which types of organisms were, or had recently been, present in the samples.

A decade after the dairy discovery on strikingly intact remains mummified by the Taklamakan Desert’s arid conditions, scientists have extracted and sequenced DNA from the 3,600-year-old cheese ...

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 ...

(CNN) — Bronze Age desert dwellers unearthed from graves in what’s now northwest China were buried with cheese scattered on their heads and necks — perhaps as a snack packed for the afterlife.
