If whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is like clicking through a DVD frame by frame, and if fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is like scanning the scene-selection menu, a new technology may offer ...

Researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) have discovered that a common lab molecule, used to label DNA, can trigger a runaway process that eventually leads to cell death. But the team ...

See original manuscripts, letters, photos, and jokes from luminaries like Rosalind Franklin, Aaron Klug, and Linus Pauling ...

Most microscopes can only illuminate objects down to a certain size before tiny features blur together. This blurring is ...

Even the smallest molecule can tell a big story. For instance, observing a single molecule can throw light on underlying biological processes in the human body. In fact, molecular imaging ...

The local irradiation of regenerating liver 1 hour after the administration of tritiated thymidine revealed no loss of labeled DNA after 3000 R and 6000 R of x ...

Researchers have developed a new fluorescent label that gives a clearer picture of how DNA architecture is disrupted in cancer cells. The findings could improve cancer diagnoses for patients and ...

A digoxigenin-labeled cloned infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) DNA fragment was evaluated as a nonradioactive alternative probe in the diagnosis of infectious laryngotracheitis. The dot-blot ...

Researchers have developed a new fluorescent label that gives a clearer picture of how DNA architecture is disrupted in cancer cells. The findings could improve cancer diagnoses for patients and ...

Fluorescence microscopy is commonly used in the study of biological systems mostly because of its specificity, ability to target structures individually, and its high signal over background. Recently, ...
