Enzymatic conversion and hybrid capture target enrichment combine to optimize methylation sequencing.

A new KOD polymerase enables sub-15 minute PCR protocols

Special steps are needed to optimize qPCR results for wastewater analysis and surveillance.

The largest study to date of the animals’ genetics provides robust evidence that they are adapting to survive a highly lethal, contagious cancer scientists feared would cause their extinction.

An integrated system rapidly measures DNA and RNA without sample loss.

Researchers find that surges in COVID-19 case numbers are associated with deletions in the SARS-CoV-2 genome in an antigenic site of the spike protein. Some of these mutations are present in vaccine breakthrough infections or reinfections.

Multichannel pipettes with adjustable tip spacing increase the efficiency and reproducibility of high-throughput experiments.

Benjamin Haibe-Kains and Rachelly Normand showcase how they use multi-omic approaches to fight both old and new diseases.

In a preprint, researchers fill in some of the holes left in the first draft of the human genetic code, published at the turn of the century.

Rather than being described by the location of where they emerged or an alphanumeric code, variants will be given a Greek letter.

New analyses find that divergent transcription, in which one promoter directs the expression of two adjacent genes oriented in opposite directions, is conserved across all domains of life.

New genomic analyses reveal that piscine orthoreovirus first came to the Pacific in 1989, around the same time that salmon farms in the area started importing Atlantic salmon eggs from Europe.

Britt Glaunsinger discusses how viruses steal from their hosts to take over cellular processes and promote their own survival.

In the largest effort to date to standardize performance metrics of the cancer diagnostic across products, researchers say the products can likely detect advanced tumors reliably, but early-stage malignancies would remain a challenge.

Influenza RNA sequences from three sets of lungs preserved in formalin since 1918 provide new insights into the deadly pandemic.

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIOb), a global leader of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, today announced the launch of the SEQuoia RiboDepletion Kit, which improves assay efficiency by eliminating irrelevant ribosomal RNA (rRNA) fragments from an RNA-Seq library.

Researchers find that SARS-CoV-2 variants can evade primer-probe sets and recommend that diagnostic assays include multiple targets for reliability.

A single gene called BMP11 regulates not only the size and proportions of a water strider’s massively long third legs, but also how it uses the limbs in fights.
