Chloroplasts—the "light power plants" of plant cells—are increasingly the focus of synthetic biology. These organelles house ...

Modern crop breeding is entering a new era of genome design, led by genome editing technologies as mainstream tools for targeted genome modification. In a review published in Nature Reviews Genetics, ...

Liquid biopsies are tests that detect signs of cancer through a simple blood draw. Unlike traditional biopsies, which require removing a piece of tissue, a liquid biopsy typically looks for mutations ...

A new liquid biopsy developed by researchers at the University of Chicago is offering a powerful new window into cancer’s earliest stages by flagging subtle shifts in the gut microbiome. Unlike ...

Researchers developed a cell-free DNA blood test that accurately distinguishes ALS from other neurological diseases and tracks progression.

Liquid biopsies have transformed cancer testing. These tests detect signs of cancer using a simple blood draw instead of removing tissue from the body. Traditional biopsies involve surgery, needles, ...

What if a single test could simultaneously contribute to the diagnosis, characterization, and treatment guidance of childhood ...

An important DNA modification is methylation, or the addition of a methyl group to the 5th carbon of cytosine. This forms 5-methylcytosine (5mC), typically associated with repression of gene ...

Great. Good morning, everyone. I'm Alexandra Byrne. I'm a reporter at GenomeWeb, and I will be your moderator for today's webinar. The title of today's webinar is beyond the genome: Measuring ...
