Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was developed to identify pathogenic DNA copy-number changes (e.g., duplications, deletions) on a genome-wide scale, and to map these changes to genomic ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

Research from the Stowers Institute provides evidence suggesting that cancer cells might streamline their genomes in order to proliferate more easily. The study, conducted in both human and mouse ...

PlantGFM created synthetic plant DNA that tobacco cells copied into RNA, with some sequences producing detectable proteins in ...

Researchers have revealed the relationship between autophagy and polyploidy, the latter a phenomenon in which cells contain multiple copies of genetic material. In this regard, they have discovered a ...

DNA-folding nanorobots can manufacture limitless copies of themselves By Loz Blain December 08, 2023 Tiny nano-robots have been developed that can grab tiny snippets of DNA and assemble them into new ...

A protein that prepares DNA for replication also prevents the replication process from running out of control, according to a new study. The work solves a mystery that has long puzzled biologists. A ...

Using SNP-CGH to Profile for Amplifications, Duplications, and Deletions The beginnings of personalized medicine have been forged by recent advances in SNP genotyping technologies. It is now possible ...
