Testing for COVID-19 continues to be one of the most important tools in the global fight to slow and reduce the impact of the pandemic, particularly until vaccines are more widely available. Regular ...

CRISPR genome editing generates double-stranded breaks (DSBs) in genomic DNA and is a targeted method by which to achieve gene knockouts and knock-ins. Endogenous repair of DSBs results in an array of ...

Failed polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) are a common cause of frustration in the lab. While a typical PCR protocol is quite straightforward, scientists must optimize each step to amplify the intended ...

Scientists from the United States have recently identified a novel approach to rapidly and accurately detect the omicron BA.2.12.1 sub-lineage of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...

A team of researchers from the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine has developed a new method for target DNA sequence amplification, testing and analysis. This new technique, or ...

Anurup Ganguli was finishing up his PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, reading bioRxiv preprints on CRISPR-based molecular detection from the labs of Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna ...
