CDCA7, whose mutations alter DNA methylation pattern and cause immunodeficiency, is a novel sensor for a special class of methylated DNA. DNA methylation is a process in which a methyl group is ...

In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises unfold in real time. Inside every cell, DNA breaks, repairs, and sometimes ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...

Electrochemical sensors are at the forefront of environmental monitoring, offering rapid, sensitive and selective detection of a wide array of pollutants. By converting a chemical interaction into an ...

Outside her cabin in northern Belize, Elizabeth Clare, a biodiversity scientist at York University, walks along a path. Everywhere she looks, it's teeming with life. "There's hibiscus flowers over ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage ...

Miniaturised ceramic gas sensors, originally developed for measuring oxygen levels for spacecraft re-entry vehicles, enables improved human breath measurement apparatus, better control of heater ...

Environmental DNA, also known as eDNA, is genetic material shed from animals and plants that scientists can use to tell what kinds of organisms are living in an environment. However, scientists ...

Now in its sixth year, the Cornell project team CU GeoData bridges engineering and earth sciences to design and deploy environmental sensors, including a sensor network across the Finger Lakes and a ...

On a warm, sunny day in April, biologists David Duffy and Jessica Farrell prepare to motor down the Matanzas River on a small boat to catalog the area’s aquatic life. Ripples signal the river’s lazy ...
