A study reveals how the essential red blood cell transcription factor KLF1 recognizes DNA. Using precise measurements in test ...

Centuries-old genetic material can solve historical mysteries, from lost species to what killed Napoleon’s army.

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind ...

DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...

In our latest installment in our series on DNA sequencing, we discuss pyrosequencing, which takes advantage of some of the byproducts of adding a base to a growing strand of DNA.

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...
