What Is a DNA Barcode? A DNA barcode is a short, standardized region of the genome used to identify an organism to species. Strictly, the DNA barcode is the sequence or genomic region used as the ...

Aligning with the International Day for Biological Diversity's theme of "Acting locally for global impact," researchers have released a comprehensive blueprint for building a robust, globally ...

A team of chemists, microbiologists and physicists at the University of Cambridge in the U.K. has developed a way to use solid-state nanopores and multiplexed DNA barcoding to identify misfolded ...

Drug delivery researchers have vastly improved the potential of genetic therapies by overcoming the challenge of consistently getting genes and gene-editing tools where they need to be within cells.

DNA-barcoded probes let nanopores identify which metal-ion signals belong to which targets, enabling multiplexed sensing in water and soil extracts. (Nanowerk Spotlight) In heavy metal sensing, the ...
