In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there ...

Around 5,000 years ago, humans discovered that they could domesticate animals. So, as it were, they adopted animals like cows ...

We evaluated the stability of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in plasma samples stored at 42°C for external quality assessment (EQA) panels of viral load. To assess the stability of plasma samples ...

Cold sore virus takes over human DNA within just one hour, study finds Study is first to prove that herpes virus reshapes human genome deliberately ...

Scientists involved in the Synthetic Human Genome Project are now attempting to create a fully synthetic human chromosome, making up about two per cent of human DNA, as proof of concept.

Objective Exhausted hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific CD8 T cells in chronic HBV infection are broadly heterogeneous. Characterisation of their functional impairment may allow to distinguish patients ...

The UK has officially launched the Synthetic Human Genome Project, a groundbreaking initiative, aiming to construct human DNA from scratch.

Total DNA is prepared by proteinase K digestion, phenol-chloroform extraction and precipitation with ethanol, while total RNA is extracted using Trizol ® LS reagent (Invitrogen Life Technologies).

Detection of HCV & Hepadnaviral Genomes in Hepatic Tissue The approach used to identify HCV or hepadnaviral genome sequences in the liver is the same as that in lymphoid cells, except that there ...
