Each species has its own DNA sequence—a unique structure of the four chemical “letters” that DNA uses (abbreviated A, C, G, and T, which stand for adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine). DNA ...

A study by WEHI scientists has shed new light on one of the most fundamental mysteries of biology: how cells divide and grow ...

Melting DNA into a barcode Date: July 19, 2010 Source: ... These are found in two pair varieties; AT, which stands for adenine and thymine, and GC, which stands for guanine and cytosine.

Although DNA barcoding, or in this case "megabarcoding," may seem complex, it is an accessible and effective method for ...

From 2017 to 2022, Bob Grant was Editor in Chief of The Scientist, where he started in 2007 as a Staff Writer.

DNA barcoding for screening of lipid nanoparticles. Lipid nanoparticles have shown great promise for drug delivery as witnessed in their use for the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

DNA barcoding, in this case so-called 'megabarcoding', might sound mysterious, but it isn't really. We will come back to that later. First, let us take a look at why we don't know enough yet.

DURHAM, N.C. – What people say they’ve eaten and what they’ve actually eaten are often two very different lists of foods. But a new technique using DNA barcoding to identify the plant matter in human ...

“All animals, including humans, carry a particular piece of DNA, the CO1 gene, that’s pretty much unique for every species, like the barcode on an item in the grocery store,” Kuhn explains.
