Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

At depths sunlight never penetrates and pressures would be lethal to most life, scientists have found not one but three new species of deep-sea snailfish each with its own unique shape thanks to the ...
