Alternative bases that can fit into the DNA double helix have now been used in vivo to direct the synthesis of proteins incorporating unnatural amino acids. This bioengineering feat is significant at both the conceptual ...

The very high information density of DNA has prompted speculations on its use for information storage. The high costs of DNA synthesis and sequencing made this highly unpractical; however recent progress (notably array ...

Comme on l’a dit et répété dans ces colonnes [1–3], la valeur prédictive des profils génétiques à base de Snip vendus par 23andMe, Navigenics et autres « entreprises DTC » (direct to consumer) est très faible pour ne pas ...

Large differences in maximum longevity exist between different rodent species. Determination of the spontaneous and mutagen-induced mutation rates in these species by single (somatic) cell sequencing suggests more efficient ...

Sophisticated analyses of current human populations compared to a high-coverage Neandertal genome sequence indicate that, contrary to the previous consensus, African genomes carry a small but significant amount of ...

Advanced analysis of environmental DNA for diversity monitoring using deep sequencing reveals the presence of human DNA in many samples connected to human activity.Moreover, this DNA is in relatively good condition and can ...
