The ability to extract trace bits of DNA from soil, water, and even air is revolutionizing science. But it's not foolproof. In the late 1980s, at a federal research facility in Pensacola, Florida, ...

The ability to extract trace bits of DNA from soil, water, and even air is revolutionizing science. Are there pitfalls? By Peter Andrey Smith/Undark Published Feb 14, 2024 8:06 AM EST This article was ...

Researchers have developed a method to measure coral biodiversity through extracting the environmental DNA (or eDNA) from a liter of surface seawater collected from above a reef. The method has been ...

Most procedures for extracting DNA from general substrates involve manipulations that reduce yields and expose the sample to potential contamination. Additionally, most methods also require ...

Researchers can now extract environmental DNA from paw prints left in the snow by threatened species, such as polar bears and lynxes, and use it to monitor their populations. Polar bears and lynxes, ...

Researchers in Japan have identified a striking new way immune cells strip DNA out of dying neighbors, a process they call ...

A team of scientists has created a new guide to advance standards for collecting and cataloging DNA from marine species, enhancing a revolutionary method for monitoring ocean biodiversity. The guide ...

To obtain high-quality, purified nucleic acids, scientists can use several different methods, including phenol-chloroform extraction, cesium chloride/ethidium bromide (CsCl/EtBr) gradient ...

LONDON, 14 January 2024: LGC Biosearch Technologies™ has launched a nucleic acid extraction method, sbeadex™ Lightning. This product rapidly delivers high-purity DNA in high-yields, typically ...

When it comes to DNA extraction, most people tend to think of blood or tissue samples like hair, muscle, or bones. But what about plants? Though plants are probably not the first to come to mind when ...
