A single-molecule method for sequencing DNA that does not require fluorescent labelling could reduce costs and increase sequencing speeds. An exonuclease enzyme might be used to cleave individual ...

They are working to improve sequencing for individual cells in order to detect somatic single nucleotide variations (SNVs). Mutations in genetic information can come in a variety of types. Some ...

Human genomes vary quite a bit from individual to individual. These differences include single nucleotide changes, or "spelling mistakes" in the DNA sequence, but even more variation comes from ...

Have students identify the two strands that make up DNA, the sugar-phosphate backbone, the individual nucleotide bases, and the nucleotide base pairs.

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?
