Computational prediction of gene structure is crucial for interpreting genomic sequences. But how do the algorithms involved work and how accurate are they? Expression-based systems that use only ...

DNA methylation involves the addition of methyl groups to specific nucleotides, usually cytosine, in the DNA sequence. Methylation can lead to gene silencing by preventing transcription factors from ...

Researchers say strategy will help understand the history of life, monitor the spread of pathogens or create new treatments for disease.

Simon, PhD, and Matt Deaner, PhD, will discuss recent innovations in DNA synthesis that enable fast, accurate synthesis of ...
