A fertilized egg somehow manages to build skin, brain, and blood cells within days. But how? New tech called LoxCode is ...

DNA barcoding is a powerful molecular method that helps researchers identify biomolecules through sequencing short, 10–800 base pair DNA segments called barcodes. 1 Scientists use this method widely ...

When it comes to species diversity, the Earth is nearly unthinkable. Between two and three million species have been identified by scientists, but there are many more about which people know nothing.

Using DNA barcoding, the Boston Globe revealed last year that 48% of the fish their reporters purchased in restaurants, grocery stores and markets in Massachusetts was mislabeled ...

DNA barcodes can be synthesized as described earlier. They were then formulated separately for each type of nanoparticle (i.e., barcode 1 to nanoparticle 1, and barcode N to nanoparticle N) before ...
