Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation play a key role in regulating gene expression. Emerging evidence suggests that intermediates ...

GADGET WATCH | An Eternal Fluorescent Protein? Researchers at Shemyakin and Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry in Moscow who developed the fluorescent protein DsRed are tinkering with a new ...

DNA, the genetic material compacted in chromosomes, stores information to regulate all the cell processes in the body. Two decades ago, in addition to the widely known Watson-Crick double helix model ...

An international collaboration of researchers developed two new complementary approaches for versatile but precise light intensity measurements in fluorescence imaging systems. Accurate measurements ...

To visualize DNA or protein in gels, researchers load their samples with colorimetric- or fluorescence-emitting dyes. Typical DNA gel imagers visualize DNA intercalating dyes, such as ethidium bromide ...
