By making the world's microbial DNA easier to explore, a new sequence alignment tool, LexicMap, lets scientists search for a DNA sequence against millions of bacterial and archaeal genomes in minutes, ...
TL;DR: Researchers have developed a method for writing data to DNA strands quickly and efficiently, potentially revolutionizing electronic data storage. In the future, electronic data storage systems ...
DNA is often called the blueprint of life, but what does that really mean? Elizabeth Worthey, Ph.D., associate professor, Department of Genetics in the Heersink School of Medicine, explains everything ...
Nearly 25 years after scientists completed a draft human genome sequence, many of its 3.1 billion letters remain a puzzle. The 98% of the genome that is not made of protein-coding genes — but which ...
Researchers are queuing up to try a powerful microscopy technique that can simultaneously sequence an individual cell’s DNA and pinpoint the location of its proteins with high resolution — all without ...

DNA sequence once overlooked as ‘junk’ found to drive human chromosome fusions
Leonardo Gomes de Lima, Ph.D., a postdoctoral associate in the Gerton Lab, led the research. The findings show how these chromosome fusions form, why they remain stable, and how repetitive DNA, once ...
Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the "dark ...
