A DNA-based barcoding assay can now quantify, in living mice, how much genetic cargo escapes cellular disposal versus how much is degraded. Measurements from the assay guided the design of lipid ...

Using tiny snippets of DNA as 'barcodes,' researchers have developed a new technique for rapidly screening the ability of nanoparticles to selectively deliver therapeutic genes to specific organs of ...

FEM2-Ambiente has developed a DNA barcoding tool for food companies to verify ingredients and trace contaminants in both raw and processed foods. Biotech company FEM2 (Food, Environment, ...

DNA barcoding is a movement to catalog all life on earth by a simple standardized genetic tag, similar to stores labeling products with unique barcodes. But the approach as currently practiced churns ...

Conservation geneticists who study sea turtles have a new tool to help track this highly migratory and endangered group of marine animals: DNA barcodes. DNA barcodes are short genetic sequences that ...

DNA barcoding, as the name suggests, was designed to make identifying a species as simple as scanning a supermarket barcode. Image Source / Alamy The herbivores that roam the African savannah are ...

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 ...
