DNA sequencing is a laboratory method used to determine the sequence of a DNA molecule. The method was developed by Frederick Sanger in 1975, who was later awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1980 ...

The Trump administration's DHS proposal would expand biometric data collection, including DNA, from all immigration applicants and detainees, raising major privacy, legal and constitutional concerns ...

Scientists are working to develop an operational definition of "epigenetics" -- a rapidly growing research field that investigates heritable alterations in gene expression caused by mechanisms other ...

DNA runs on just four letters, but scientists have now added new ones—and the code still works. This breakthrough could reshape medicine, biology, and even the definition of life.

A storage architecture that uses synthetic DNA. Developed by molecular biologists, digital data is encoded as a sequence in the DNA and decoded by sequencing the DNA. Compared to hard drives and solid ...

A new theory that explains why the language of our genes is more complex than it needs to be also suggests that the primordial soup where life began on earth was hot and not cold, as many scientists ...
