A new study, published in JAMA Cardiology, has identified DNA methylation sites associated with heart disease. Most importantly, the study […]
In the latest episode of Genetics Unzipped, presenter Dr Kat Arney chats to researchers who are delving back into the […]
A new study, published in Forensic Science International: Genetics, has shown for the first time that DNA can be obtained […]
Second- and third-generation NGS platforms are separated by their need for DNA amplification prior to sequencing. Second-generation sequencing technologies are […]
Introduction It has been over 30 years since the first generation of DNA sequencing technology was developed in 1977. Since […]
A recent study has discovered differentially methylated genomic regions harbouring 4 loci associated with risk of multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis […]
For the first time, researchers have found that G-quadruplex structures (G4s) in DNA could be added to the list of […]
Researchers have discovered that mammalian cells can convert RNA sequences back into DNA using Polθ, which challenges long-believed notions surrounding polymerases. Polymerases […]
Researchers have explored how methylation patterns have a protein-independent regulatory role that increases the stiffness of DNA, which ultimately impacts […]
A recent study has found that genetic variants in mitochondrial DNA could increase the risk of developing several common diseases, […]
