Bones found at the site of an ancient fish-processing plant were used to genetically identify the species that went into a ...

By Abhishyant Kidangoor Tyler Kartzinel likens protecting biodiversity to enhancing cellphone networks. His analogy is pretty ...

High molecular weight DNA from plant tissues. DNA quantity and quality are important factors for success in long-read NGS, but achieving adequate levels of both can be challenging. Because it was ...

The oldest known Egyptian DNA sample, from a man who lived between 4,500 to 4,800 years ago, offers new insights into the ...

Roman salting plants processed fish so thoroughly that researchers struggle to identify the species once used in ancient ...

Over the next decade, teams will digitize DNA of the 1.8 million named plant, animal, fungi and single-celled eukaryote species on the planet. By the end of 2022, the scientists plan on sequencing ...

In an advance for agriculture, a new study reveals how wheat plants actively influence the microbial communities living on ...

Using a short-read sequencing approach, scientists could sequence many short (50 to 3,000 bases) DNA fragments in parallel. This breakthrough was soon followed by long-read sequencing, which as the ...

As interest in DNA methylation continues to grow across both basic and translational research, there is a pressing need for ...

In addition, the team showed that genes with a sequence similarity to N4-cytosine methyltransferases, the enzymes that catalyze 4mC methylation in bacteria, were expressed in the same window of ...

Humans, plants, fungi, and other animals all fall into this group. In one estimate, there are roughly 10 to 15 million eukaryotic species on our planet. But just a little over two million have been ...

They can sequence the plant’s DNA and cross-reference its genetic information with online databases, which often list information about the role of different sequences.
