To date, people have encoded information into DNA the same way nature has, by linking the four nucleotide bases comprising DNA—A, T, C, and G—into a particular genetic sequence.

Today EMBL-Bank, the nucleotide sequence database of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), celebrates its 25th anniversary.. It was the world’s earliest public database of DNA and RNA ...

A new combination of some of the molecules essential for human life has been detected in a sample of an extremely rare blood type at a hospital in eastern China, according to a Chinese news report ...

RNA interference-related strategies have become appealing methods in various fields of research. Exact sequence design of these small molecules is an essential step in the silencing procedure.

Mutations are alterations to a DNA sequence. If one thinks of the information in DNA as a series of sentences, mutations are errors in spelling the words that make up those sentences. Sometimes ...

The genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, was submitted to a National Institutes of Health database two weeks before its release by the Chinese government, according to ...

The genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, was submitted to a National Institutes of Health database two weeks before its release by the Chinese government, according to ...

Using existing variation detection pipelines (e.g. GATK) to call variants and construct phase blocks, we achieve state of the art sensitivity and specificity for small nucleotide polymorphisms while ...

The team’s analyses revealed that the mutation in RNU12 was affecting its RNA’s normal ability to ‘splice’, or extract, nucleotide sequences, called minor introns, from genes known to be associated ...
