Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the ...

Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new ...

Using two types of harmless red-to-near-infrared light, both DNA and RNA can be distinguished simultaneously inside a cell (left), and cell aging progression can be observed (right). Early detection ...

Beyond standard microscopy, TIRF is a specialized optical technique used by biophysicists to observe single molecules like the DNA and proteins. DNA functions as the primary genetic blueprint, while ...

What is Single-Molecule Imaging? Single-molecule imaging is a powerful technique that allows researchers to visualize and study individual molecules in real-time. By overcoming the limitations of ...

One of the challenges of fighting pancreatic cancer is finding ways to penetrate the organ's dense tissue to define the margins between malignant and normal tissue. A new study uses DNA origami ...

In the past few years, gel electrophoresis of DNA fragments has become an important complement to hybridization and amplification sequencing tools. As variations on PCR, RFLP, mutation sequencing, and ...

Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...
