Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest questions. Consisting of amino acids strung together into peptide chains, these ...

In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models, or cultured cells.

A team of researchers has built a new protein sequencing workflow that pairs mirror proteases with deep learning software to read peptide sequences with far greater accuracy than previous methods.

Researchers working with dried fungal specimens stored at Australia’s National Herbarium of Victoria have identified two new species of fungi by applying DNA sequencing to long-held collections. The ...

Remember when Japan sent a spacecraft to an asteroid 180 million miles away to scoop some dirt off the surface? Six years on ...

In a French criminal trial, conventional DNA analysis couldn’t distinguish between twin brothers, but emerging scientific ...

An identical twin commits a crime and leaves their DNA at the scene. Can DNA testing reveal which twin is the culprit? This question reportedly came up in a case in France last month, in which the DNA ...
