Advances in sequencing technologies have accelerated the discovery of the genetic causation of diseases and new cell types. This revolution has also given rise to a new technique known as genetic ...

Reliable technique should improve clinical trials, nutrition studies and historical research DURHAM, N.C. – What people say they’ve eaten and what they’ve actually eaten are often two very different ...

Gene therapy and engineering is a promising area of research for the treatment of various genetic diseases. Therapy involves manipulating stem cells and transplanting them into recipients allowing the ...

In the mid-1990s, Hiroyuki Nakai, now an adeno-associated virus (AAV) researcher at the Oregon Health and Science University, moved to the United States. Nakai quickly became fascinated with the ...

DNA barcoding is now being used to identify the plant matter in human feces, revealing what a person has eaten. A reliable genetic marker for plant-based foods can be retrieved from poop, showing not ...

In 2014, researchers combined DNA barcoding with next-generation sequencing (NGS) to develop the adeno-associated virus (AAV) barcode-seq technology for streamlining AAV screening. Using this method, ...

Barcoding technologies using the high information content encoded in oligonucleotide sequences have aided various applications in biotechnology, especially when paired with next-generation DNA ...
