Once scientists have zeroed in on a specific segment of DNA, how do they produce enough copies of that segment for their research? In most cases, the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is their ...

Each copy comes in the form of a steel DNA capsule that holds approximately half a megabyte of data and resembles a bullet. The Boston-based CATALOG encoded 240 pages of text, totaling 481,280 ...

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is present in hundreds of copies in the genome, but has not previously been part of genetic analyses. A new study of 500,000 individuals indicates that people who have more ...

Determining the number of copies of a double stranded DNA template (be it genomic DNA, plasmid or an amplified fragment) is essential for many genetic quantification applications in research and ...

What may be the first commercially available book saved in DNA is the latest example of how consumers might use molecular data storage.

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

A significant advancement in knowledge of the link between cognition and genetics has been made thanks to a study led by Université de Montréal graduate students Guillaume Huguet and Thomas Renne, ...

Low copy number PCR 5 Low copy number PCR amplifies low amounts of DNA (typically <100-200pg). Increasing the number of amplification cycles to 34 instead of 28 helps increase sensitivity. Additional ...
