DNA sequencing finds 2 new fungi species in an Australian herbarium
Researchers working with dried fungal specimens stored at Australia’s National Herbarium of Victoria have identified two new species of fungi by applying DNA sequencing to long-held collections. The ...
Scientists from the University of Colombia have found an ancient "ghost" DNA genome that existed in South America over 6,000 years ago but vanished.
All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...
How do you define biosecurity in the context of DNA? Peccoud: An internet search for biosecurity will return stories about security measures aimed at preventing pests or infectious agents from ...
While tools like CRISPR have blown the field of genome hacking wide open, being able to predict what will happen when you tinker with the code underlying the living things on our planet is still ...
DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...
