A new long-read DNA test improves rare disease diagnosis, replaces multiple existing tests, and could become the preferred ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

A team led by Professor Michal Hocek at IOCB Prague has explored the limits of the structure and function of DNA and successfully pushed forward known boundaries. Their latest research has just been ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...

I was one of the first to spit into a test tube, giving up my DNA forever to learn more about my health and heredity. You know, the ones that promise to connect you with distant relatives you didn’t ...
