In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers predicted severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleotide sequences using outlier detection. Study: ...

Adoptive cell therapies, also known as cellular immunotherapies, are a personalized treatment strategy that involves engineering patients’ immune cells to recognize and attack their own tumors. This ...

It's a given that certain bacteria and viruses can cause illness and disease, but the real culprits are the sequences of concern that lie within the genomes of these microbes. Calling them out is ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who recently reported that DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes could serve as sensors in living cells now say the tiny tubes can be used to ...

Recombination is a key evolutionary process that shapes the architecture of genomes and the genetic structure of populations. Although many statistical methods are available for the detection of ...

So now we have billions of copies of a unique DNA strand, of various lengths, and each marked with a color. To get the sequence of A's, G's, C's, and T's, all we need to do is sort the strands ...

Researchers have harnessed the weirdness of quantum entanglement to detect ultra-faint radio signals, explains a new report. In a study published in Physics Review Letters, and highlighted by APS ...
