DNA sequencing was revolutionized after scientists discovered a new bacterium in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park, and today it's a common research technique. This game-changing bacterium ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Advances in DNA sequencing technology help forensic biologists identify suspects where traditional DNA profiling has failed, ...

J. Craig Venter, the scientist who led the private effort to sequence the first draft of the human genome, has died at age 79 in San Diego. His work accelerated genetic research, revealing links ...
