It’s a bit like giving the soil a DNA test.” A new droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) method quantifies root DNA directly from soil ...
Scientists have engineered a nanoscale switch using DNA "origami." Inspired by macroscale mechanical switches, the device achieves long-term functionality without the continuous forcing mechanism that ...
Silver nanoparticles provide a more efficient way to cut and assemble DNA, improving recovery rates and boosting DNA joining ...
Scientists analyzing the genomes of thousands of people across Japan discovered evidence for a previously overlooked third ancestral group, challenging the long-accepted “dual origins” theory. The ...
For years, scientists believed the origins of the Japanese population could be traced back mainly to two ancient groups. But a major new DNA study is now challenging that long-held belief and ...
These authors have equally contributed to this work. Bipolar disorder (BD) is a major mood disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. While DNA methylation from peripheral tissues ...
On April 21, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that a husband can’t be required to provide maintenance if a DNA test proves he is not the father of the daughter. Therefore, the Supreme Court determined ...
Figure 1: RNA-seq data uses short reads of mRNA which is free of intronic non-coding DNA. These reads must then be aligned back to the reference genome. Credit: Technology Networks. Early RNA-seq ...

Abstract: Discovery of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) is essential for understanding the underlying binding mechanisms and cellular functions. Recently, Convolutional neural network (CNN) ...
SLE is a complex autoimmune disease that results from the interplay of genetics, epigenetics and environmental exposures. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that regulates gene expression and ...
