The SPRQ chemistry brings three major benefits: 4x lower DNA input, 33% higher sequencing yield and more accurate direct methylation detection. With only 500 ng of DNA needed for a human whole genome, ...

For decades, we’ve believed the bright redness of sunburn — along with its irritating sting and peeling skin — was the result of ultraviolet (UV) radiation wreaking havoc on DNA. But now ...

Of course, though, testing a child's parentage based on physical features is far too subjective — that's typically where DNA tests come in. Such tests can offer a far more scientific way of ...

Cuts to funding for a GCSE course which teaches students road safety have been reversed. Grants to schools to teach a GCSE in Motor Vehicle and Road User Studies were axed in 2023, alongside other ...

A DNA vaccine is a substance that is composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and encodes antigens. After administration of the DNA, antigens are produced and stimulate an immune response.

The skull of a person long thought to be Cleopatra’s half sister was misidentified for nearly a century, new research from Nature Scientific Reports concludes, raising intriguing questions about ...

A computational study has replaced the carbon in cytosine, guanine, adenine, thymine and deoxyribose with nitrogen and boron to understand what carbonless DNA might be like. The study generated a set ...

These can be caused by damaging environmental exposures, such as smoking, as well as the everyday chemistry occurring in our cells. DNA damage is distinct from a mutation. While a mutation is one ...
