Our food and our bodies are full of tiny protein fragments called peptides. These small chains of amino acids act as ...

Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, has been published in Nature Communications.

For decades, scientists have struggled to untangle the genetic complexity of crops with multiple chromosome sets. Now, researchers have unveiled a cost-effective sequencing method, dpMIG-seq, that ...

In just a few decades, DNA sequencing technologies evolved from slow, manual processes to rapid, automated ones, making ...

The high complexity and diversity of the eukaryotic transcriptome poses significant challenges for the efficient detection of specific transcripts. Conventional targeted RNA-seq methods often require ...

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed a new RNA sequencing strategy that can reveal how genetic variants disrupt gene function and improve the diagnosis of rare ...

A new single-cell technology is giving scientists their clearest view yet of immune cell behavior—capturing not just genetic intent, but real-time activity. By measuring RNA and proteins ...

Bacteria are among the most diverse lifeforms on Earth, so it’s no surprise that their genomes have yielded a treasure trove of fascinating discoveries. The study of bacterial genomes has led to the ...

When the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak, and multiple variants were threatening lives around the world, scientists relied on a process called "tiled amplicon sequencing" to track the virus's spread ...

Infections by hantaviruses are rare but dangerous, killing 30–40% of infected people. When cases occur, public health ...
