In the quest for RNA biomarkers indicative of fruit maturity, a cost-effective, reliable workflow is crucial. Accurate harvest timing is critical for shelf life and apple quality, but at present, ...

In RNA-seq library preparation, selecting the appropriate number of PCR cycles is a critical balancing act to avoid overcycling.

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

This study generated two million short DNA sequences, known as signature sequences or sequence tags, to identify and quantify both known and novel small RNA molecules. with the Breaking Science News ...

The arrival of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has revolutionized the field of genomics and expanded the scope of scientific inquiry to sequence datasets from multiple genomes and ...

In 2005, two landmark papers describing novel cycle-array sequencing methods ushered in a new era in genetics. Known at the time as next-generation sequencing (NGS), these methods are now more ...

Launched in 1990, The Human Genome Project was a monumental effort to sequence and analyze the entire human genome to understand how genetics influence health. While the Human Genome Project helped ...

A full-size, high-density RNA microchip is about the size of a fingernail and can contain up to 780 000 unique RNA sequences, each occupying a ~14 x 14 μm² area. The presence and the quality of the ...

If you want to know what a cell, tissue, or organism is doing, molecularly speaking, you don’t look at its genome; you’ve got to look further downstream. One option: the transcriptome. One step beyond ...

An international research team has succeeded in developing a new version of RNA building blocks with higher chemical reactivity and photosensitivity. This can significantly reduce the production time ...
