Van Andel Institute scientists have developed an improved technique to comprehensively profile DNA methylation in single cells, an advance that will help researchers better study the role of ...

Scientists have long suspected connections between heredity and disease, dating back to Hippocrates, who observed certain diseases "ran in families." However, through the years, scientists have kept ...

Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist ...

Michael Junkin, PhD, leads the instrumentation for Elegen’s DNA synthesis platform. He has more than 15 years of experience in the field of microfluidics, having developed systems to study ...

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has spent the past decade maturing into a foundational technology. Over that time, the technology has both laid the foundation for building cell atlases and allowed ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most genetic medicine uses viruses or double-stranded DNA to deliver genetic ...

Scientists at Cincinnati Children's have identified how certain immune cells are molecularly programmed to respond faster when the body encounters a familiar threat, shedding light on immune memory ...
