Call it the science of small, but a trio of University of Florida chemical engineers have developed a lab-on-a-chip process that could make a big difference for DNA research and, ultimately, patients.
To efficiently map traits and validate candidate genes of interest, researchers rely on high throughput DNA purification prior to next-generation sequencing. Speed and resource efficiency are key ...
In a recent study published in the Nature Journal, researchers described a new method to safely release deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) trapped inside the ancient tooth and bone artifacts, which was used ...
Genetic anthropologist Jennifer Raff walks through the delicate and precise art of obtaining DNA samples from centuries-old human remains. The following is an excerpt from Origin: A Genetic History of ...
When you think about scientific research, you probably envision a sterile room that houses gleaming beakers, rows of pipettes and centrifuges. But what if you could house a lab on a chip? Call it the ...
