Bacteria are constantly moving with the help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like "speaking to each other," and thus acquire ...

NEW YORK — An Abyssinian cat from Missouri, named Cinnamon, has made scientific history. Researchers have largely decoded her DNA, a step that may aid the search for treatments for both feline and ...

Researchers developed e2MPRA, a high-throughput technique that simultaneously measures cis-regulatory element activity and epigenetic state. By analyzing thousands of sequences, the method showed that ...

Less than 2% of the genome codes for proteins; the rest, once called 'junk DNA', contains regulatory elements. Researchers analyzed 10,000 to reveal how variants shape gene activity.

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard bases—a task once thought too ...

NEW YORK - A biotechnology company announced it has developed a machine to decode an individual's DNA in a day for $1,000, a long-sought price goal for making the genome useful for medical care. Life ...
