DNA, the genetic material compacted in chromosomes, stores information to regulate all the cell processes in the body. Two decades ago, in addition to the widely known Watson-Crick double helix model ...

A team of researchers have developed an easy-to-use colorimetric assay for the detection of food contaminated with salmonella. The assay is based on a novel nucleic acid probe that is cleaved by an ...

BHQnova ™ Probes are double-quenched hydrolysis probes with enhanced quenching and greater signal-to-noise ratio for long probes (>25 bases). Such probes consist of a 5' fluorophore dye, a 3' Black ...

Against this backdrop, a team led by Professor Zhang Han and Associate Professor Chen Zhi from Shenzhen University in China , has demonstrated an innovative approach that combines DNA origami, CRISPR ...

Article reviewed by Govind Kaigala, PhD at the University of British Columbia. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. In situ hybridization (ISH) is a molecular technique that ...

New molecule halts mitochondrial DNA loss before it triggers inflammation. When environmental stress harms DNA, it can set off a cascade of failures linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration and ...
