Biomeme has developed a device that turns any iPhone into a mobile DNA lab to accurately perform tests to identify things like microbes, infectious contaminants, foodborne pathogens, and genetic mutations. This innovation looks to change the way DNA …
Authorities say a federal grant allowed officials to review 14,177 cases from 1981 through 1999 to determine if DNA could free previously convicted felons. Only two cases are considered to be still open — the Glaze case, where a man was convicted of a …
When retroviruses such as HIV infect a cell, they first make a copy of their RNA genome in the form of DNA. The relatively short viral DNA strand then moves to the cell nucleus, where it inserts itself into the host cell's DNA. A new study led by …
Scientists at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute say they discovered how retroviral DNA insertion complexes hunt for a suitable spot in a cell nucleus and how …
It was a busy day for the West York Borough Police Department: Pennsylvania State Police alerted Detective Kahley that they got a DNA match for the case through CODIS, a national DNA database. The DNA of Brian Escobar Pineda, the California burglar, …
Researchers at University of Montreal have created a programmable DNA thermometer that is 20,000x smaller than a human hair. This scientific advance reported this week in the journal Nano Letters may significantly aid our understanding of natural and …
Bodies are fragile and prone to the eventual failure known as death. But the DNA that encodes all the instructions for creating and operating those perishable bodies? That stuff sticks around. Thanks to 7000-year-old DNA from a tooth found in a Spanish …
MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) – More than 14,000 criminal convictions in Minnesota from the 1980s through 1990s were reviewed to determine if DNA technology could exonerate any convicted felons. The results of that analysis were announced Wednesday …
