Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient paper-folding art of origami. More recently, some of these teams started ...

FromScience Daily, more on Ned Seemans DNA nanorobotic arms. NYU chemistry professor Nadrian C. Seeman and his graduate student Baoquan Ding have developed a DNA cassette — shown here as red L-shaped ...

Genome-wide association (GWA) approaches are important in complex disease gene mapping studies but are often prohibitively expensive. Array-based DNA pooling has been shown to offer substantial cost ...

A novel electronic sensor array for more rapid, accurate and cost-efficient testing of DNA for disease diagnosis and biological research has shown "excellent" sensitivity at detecting trace amounts of ...

As mice are a vital model organism and DNA methylation is commonly used in epigenetic studies, researchers have developed a high-throughput genomic array for DNA methylation for a more detailed view ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Columbia University, with colleagues at Genia Technologies (Roche), Harvard University and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report achieving ...

A new high-throughput genomic array offers an unprecedented look into the mouse epigenome, giving researchers an in-depth view into the basis of health and disease in a vital model organism. The array ...

Most DNA research on controlled self-assembly deals with two-dimensional, i.e. flat, patterns and an expansion of these arrays into the third dimension has been challenging. New research coming out of ...

The silver used by Beth Gwinn's research group at UC Santa Barbara has value far beyond its worth as a commodity, even though it's used in very small amounts. The group works with the precious metal ...
