DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Genetic engineering has brought us revolutionary advances in medicine, biotechnology, and our understanding of life itself. However, the precise manipulation of DNA sequences has ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, biosensing, DNA origami integrity reporting, and reusable mRNA detection through ...

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a light-induced DNA ...
