An unusual and very exciting form of carbon – that can be created by drawing on paper- looks to hold the key to real-time, high throughput DNA sequencing, a technique that would revolu... Read more
“The ability to deploy real time monitoring in the field could change agriculture methods and how we look at crop disease outbreaks, as well as human disease epidemics.” As one of the... Read more
Your double helix is ticking. We can do a lot to shorten or lengthen our time on earth, from what we choose to eat, to where we choose to live. But some part of our longevity is hardwired. I... Read more
A new procedure can quickly and efficiently increase the length of human telomeres, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes that are linked to aging and disease, according to scientis... Read more
DNA molecules provide the “source code” for life in humans, plants, animals and some microbes. But now researchers report an initial study showing that the strands can also act a... Read more
A new responsive material ‘glued’ together with short strands of DNA, and capable of translating thermal and chemical signals into visible physical changes, could underpin a new class of bio... Read more
A new genetics project could help “unlock a series of secrets about devastating diseases”, the NHS says. Under the scheme, 11 Genomics Medicine Centres are being set up in Englis... Read more
Scientists have taken an important step towards the possibility of creating synthetic life with the development of a form of artificial evolution in a simple chemistry set without DNA. A tea... Read more
