DNA sequencing is a laboratory method used to determine the sequence of a DNA molecule. The method was developed by Frederick Sanger in 1975, who was later awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1980 ...

The Trump administration's DHS proposal would expand biometric data collection, including DNA, from all immigration applicants and detainees, raising major privacy, legal and constitutional concerns ...

DNA runs on just four letters, but scientists have now added new ones—and the code still works. This breakthrough could reshape medicine, biology, and even the definition of life.

A storage architecture that uses synthetic DNA. Developed by molecular biologists, digital data is encoded as a sequence in the DNA and decoded by sequencing the DNA. Compared to hard drives and solid ...

Claims regarding 50% genetic similarity, while likely overstated, are based on a comparison of similarly functioning genes, not the specific DNA sequences that make up the human genome. A popular ...
