For the Liu Lab, necessity is truly the mother of invention. The researchers were examining how the 3D organization of the ...

Similar to retail stores that use standardized barcodes to differentiate the thousands of items they sell, DNA barcodes are gene sequences that differentiate animals, plants, and microbial species. To ...

Genes have to be expressed in the right place, at the time, and at the right levels. Scientists wanted to know more about how ...

So, the team at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus decided to build their own tool. The result is an innovative new technique that uses a novel DNA barcode system to track hundreds of RNA and protein ...

Consider, for example, the technique called DNA bar coding, which is based on using short fragments of mitochondrial gene CO1 to uniquely identify and document animal species (Savolainen ...

High demand for eel combined with a decline in stock have resulted in soaring prices for this food item, which, in many ...

We address this research gap by examining the attributes of an exemplar global knowledge commons: The DNA barcode commons. DNA barcodes are short, standardized gene regions that can be used to ...

The global trade is shifting focus from the critically endangered European eel to the American eel, raising new conservation ...

Janelia researchers developed an innovative new technique – cycleHCR -- that uses a novel DNA barcode system to track hundreds of RNA and protein molecules in single cells within thick ...
