DURHAM, N.C. – What people say they’ve eaten and what they’ve actually eaten are often two very different lists of foods. But a new technique using DNA barcoding to identify the plant matter in human ...

Project to assign DNA barcodes to all 49,000 known species across Netherlands to help scientists monitor biodiversity - ...

Advances in sequencing technologies have accelerated the discovery of the genetic causation of diseases and new cell types. This revolution has also given rise to a new technique known as genetic ...

DNA barcoding in Taipei, Part 1 Spent the night talking human disease vectors with Daniel Boakye, a Ghanaian biologist (I call him a mosquito man). I'm in Taipei, Taiwan attending the 2nd ...

Leiden researchers, led by Sebastian Pomplun, have developed a new method to screen hundreds of thousands of molecules for drug discovery, using mass spectrometry instead of DNA tags. "We wanted to ...

Anyone who watches murder mystery TV shows or listens to true-crime podcasts has probably heard of the use of DNA analysis in forensic science to exonerate or implicate a suspect. But what if DNA ...

Immunoediting (the process by which cancer cells evade the immune system) results when cancer cells that are more immunogenic are selectively eliminated, resulting in a population of less-immunogenic ...

Using DNA barcodes to track cancer cells through time, Garvan scientists have shown that cells within a cancer have diverse abilities to escape immune system defences. Some cancer cells can deploy ...
