Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic micrometers-about a millionth of a milliliter. The cell manages this by ...

For the first time in the world, BSIP and ZSI are attempting to sequence the whole nuclear genome of this extinct Indian big cat.

"This is truly a platform technology, a whole new way of doing things that can change the paradigm of the way things are done in the lab." Elsewhere, a half-dozen companies are racing to come up with ...

According to Li-Qun Gu, DNA is an extremely compact, stable package of information. Natural DNA strands encode the biological blueprints of all life on Earth but ...

Less than 2% of the genome codes for proteins; the rest, once called 'junk DNA', contains regulatory elements. Researchers analyzed 10,000 to reveal how variants shape gene activity.
