With the ability to map dozens of biomarkers at once, a new method could transform testing for conditions including heart disease and cancer. With the ability to map dozens of biomarkers at once, a ...

Researchers developed a DNA barcoding assay to measure nanoparticle cargo escape in living organisms, enabling a new class of ...

Drug delivery researchers have vastly improved the potential of genetic therapies by overcoming the challenge of consistently getting genes and gene-editing tools where they need to be within cells.

Barcoding technologies that take advantage of the high information content that can be encoded in oligonucleotide sequences have enabled a wide array of applications in biotechnology, particularly ...

The Bermuda Principles Foundation led two hands-on DNA research workshops that gave local students an opportunity to work ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...
