Norgen’s Cells and Tissue DNA Isolation 96-Well Kit (Magnetic Bead System) enables the extraction of genomic DNA from a variety of animal tissues and cell samples.

The average dividing cell must copy—perfectly—3.2 billion base pairs of DNA, about once every 24 hours. The cell’s replication machinery does an amazing job of this, copying genetic material ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the information-carrying molecule found in all living organisms. In most animal, plant and fungal cells DNA is stored in the nucleus coiled up in thread-like ...

Only the cells that become germ cells retain the bonus DNA and pass it on to the next generation. How and why this feature evolved remains largely mysterious, though biologists first spotted it a ...

Chinese military scientists believe the tardigrade’s cells improve a human's ability to withstand radiation and potentially other diseases. The scientists put this plan in motion, already ...

The technology could zero in on one spot in a cell’s genome, and then either snip out or insert new DNA. Dr. Shendure and his colleagues set out to use CRISPR to record a cell’s history.

Spiderwebs can capture environmental DNA, or eDNA, from vertebrate animals in their area, potentially making them a useful tool in animal monitoring, tracking and conservation.
