Chloroplasts—the "light power plants" of plant cells—are increasingly the focus of synthetic biology. These organelles house ...

Liquid biopsies are tests that detect signs of cancer through a simple blood draw. Unlike traditional biopsies, which require removing a piece of tissue, a liquid biopsy typically looks for mutations ...

Modern crop breeding is entering a new era of genome design, led by genome editing technologies as mainstream tools for targeted genome modification. In a review published in Nature Reviews Genetics, ...

Researchers developed a cell-free DNA blood test that accurately distinguishes ALS from other neurological diseases and tracks progression.

A new liquid biopsy developed by researchers at the University of Chicago is offering a powerful new window into cancer’s earliest stages by flagging subtle shifts in the gut microbiome. Unlike ...

Collaborating researchers have made a breakthrough discovery regarding the intricate defense systems of bacteriophages (phages)—viruses that can specifically target harmful bacteria without harming ...

Liquid biopsies have transformed cancer testing. These tests detect signs of cancer using a simple blood draw instead of removing tissue from the body. Traditional biopsies involve surgery, needles, ...

Great. Good morning, everyone. I'm Alexandra Byrne. I'm a reporter at GenomeWeb, and I will be your moderator for today's webinar. The title of today's webinar is beyond the genome: Measuring ...

What if a single test could simultaneously contribute to the diagnosis, characterization, and treatment guidance of childhood ...

An important DNA modification is methylation, or the addition of a methyl group to the 5th carbon of cytosine. This forms 5-methylcytosine (5mC), typically associated with repression of gene ...
