Oligonucleotide microarray (DNA chip)–based hybridization analysis is a promising new technology which potentially allows rapid and cost–effective screens for all possible mutations and sequence ...

Nature uses a common framework when building organisms as different as yeast, worms, fruit flies, mice, and humans. This makes it possible for scientists to learn about how our own genes work by ...

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was developed to identify pathogenic DNA copy-number changes (e.g., duplications, deletions) on a genome-wide scale, and to map these changes to genomic ...

Ron Davis and I were studying plant transcription factors in 1990, but progress was slow and arduous because the gene expression tools were so primitive. We conceived of the DNA microarray in 1993 to ...

DNA microarray chips enable the parallel investigation of a given sample concerning the presence and amount of specific DNA sequences within that sample. Whereas today such chips utilize optical ...

Chief technology officer Don Montgomery explains that CombiMatrix's system synthesizes oligonucleotide probes directly on the chip through electrochemical methods. As a result, no mechanical parts are ...

A new tool for investigating the rice genome has been developed by researchers at UC Davis led by Pamela Ronald, professor of plant pathology. The inexpensive, publicly-available rice DNA microarray ...

Ariosa Diagnostics announced that its scientists have successfully tested and implemented a microarray DNA quantification method for Ariosa's Harmony Non-Invasive Prenatal Test SAN JOSE, California, ...

An international research team led by the University of Vienna has succeeded in developing a new version of RNA building blocks with higher chemical reactivity and photosensitivity. This can ...

In a recent study posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers differentiated between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants using nanotechnology. Study: ...
