Portable genetic sequencers used around the world to sequence DNA have critical, previously unreported security vulnerabilities that could reveal or alter genetic information without detection, ...

But without accurate portable DNA sequencers, crucial genetic details could be missed when research is conducted out in the field or in smaller laboratories. So Ziels and his collaborators at Aalborg ...

In a first-of-its-kind pilot project, researchers from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture and Arizona State University tested the novel ...

NASA is not often known for making the best use of existing COTS (commercial off the shelf technology) aboard the ISS. Then again, sometimes they are. This is an example of when the agency really ...

Though it's the most ubiquitous reaction in any just about any modern biochemistry lab, the polymerase chain reaction is still kind of a pain. The machines replicate small samples of DNA so they're ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

A group of a few dozen colorful translucent 3D blobs, many of which overlap, contain brightly colored dots against a black background. Three-dimensional transcriptomics data from an instrument ...
