Approach Mixes UV/VIS with Spectral Content Profiling for Yield and Quality Assessment Molecular genetic assays strongly rely on well-performed nucleic acid isolation as contamination with ...

The woolly mammoth is probably the single most iconic extinct mammal, leading to seemingly never-ending efforts to resurrect it. To do that, however, scientists will need a good understanding of their ...

Many writers grouse when an editor makes a change in a story, but the consequences of changing a single word usually aren’t that dire. Not so with genetic instructions for making proteins. Even a ...

Thomas Gingeras did not intend to upend basic ideas about how the human body works. In 2012 the geneticist, now at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York State, was one of a few hundred colleagues ...

RNA taken from the desiccated remains of a thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, could yield a new understanding of the species, which was declared extinct over 40 years ago. This is the first time RNA has ...
