To obtain high-quality, purified nucleic acids, scientists can use several different methods, including phenol-chloroform extraction, cesium chloride/ethidium bromide (CsCl/EtBr) gradient ...

Let's face it, we are a results-driven society. Too focused on the outcome, people don't often think about the "how." For instance, did you think about "how" you got to work this morning or did you ...

Most procedures for extracting DNA from general substrates involve manipulations that reduce yields and expose the sample to potential contamination. Additionally, most methods also require ...

Researchers have developed a new method to prepare bone powder for ancient DNA extraction. The method outperformed previous techniques of decontaminating ancient bones. Researchers from Max Planck ...

Long-read sequencing is transforming the landscape of genomic research, offering exceptional resolution and accuracy in the analysis of complex genetic structures. From research in genetic analysis to ...

Ancient DNA (aDNA) research, or paleogenomics, extracts and analyzes genetic material from the remains of ancient organisms, ...

Preserving DNA in biological samples has long posed a challenge for researchers, but the process may be about to get a lot ...
