Innovative technology is being developed by British scientists to track the genetic evolution of respiratory viruses as they travel around the globe. Scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridgeshire, UK, are creating ground-breaking technology to track genetic alterations in respiratory viruses in order to spot potentially harmful new variants as they appear and serve […]
According to a study, people with similar appearances probably share similar DNA
DNA analysis and a collection of photographs of genetically unrelated lookalikes have shown that great facial likeness is tied to shared genetic variations. The article is published in Cell Reports in August 2022. The growth of the World Wide Web and the ability to share human images globally have led to a rise in the […]
A new prenatal test can speed up and save money when it comes to chromosomal anomalies
Details about the test which are awaiting authorization from the New York State Department of Health before it can be offered to Columbia patients and its performance was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Prenatal genetic testing are currently available, but they are expensive and take days to weeks to complete; this adds […]
Using DNA origami, researchers from France have built a record-breaking nanorobot
The study was published in the journal Nature Communications. A DNA nanorobot that was created by French researchers from the National Institute of Health and Medical Research of France, the National Center for Scientific Research, and the University of Montpellier will enable us to study how cells react to mechanical action under both healthy and […]
