Advances in sequencing technologies have accelerated the discovery of the genetic causation of diseases and new cell types. This revolution has also given rise to a new technique known as genetic ...

DNA barcoding is now being used to identify the plant matter in human feces, revealing what a person has eaten. A reliable genetic marker for plant-based foods can be retrieved from poop, showing not ...

The Netherlands has launched an ambitious national program to map and barcode every known plant, animal, and fungal species in the country, aiming to create one of the most comprehensive DNA libraries ...

Gene therapy and engineering is a promising area of research for the treatment of various genetic diseases. Therapy involves manipulating stem cells and transplanting them into recipients allowing the ...

The Newsom administration is proposing to create a reference library for California insects based on DNA barcodes. The CDFA program would tag new and existing specimens from the Central Valley and ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- A supermarket checkout computer can identify thousands of different items by scanning the tiny barcode printed on the package. New technology developed at Cornell University could make ...

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 ...

Using DNA barcodes to track cancer cells through time, scientists have shown that cells within a cancer have diverse abilities to escape immune system defenses. Some cancer cells can deploy parallel ...

In the mid-1990s, Hiroyuki Nakai, now an adeno-associated virus (AAV) researcher at the Oregon Health and Science University, moved to the United States. Nakai quickly became fascinated with the ...
