KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Veterinary Services Department has linked the recent deaths of scores of pigs in Pitas district in the state to a possible outbreak of African Swine Fever (ASF).

Proof-of-concept project paves the way for the integration of molecules with computer chips Engineers have developed a technique that allows them to precisely place microscopic devices formed from folded DNA molecules in not only a specific location but also in a specific orientation. As a proof-of-concept, they arranged more than 3,000 glowing moon-shaped nanoscale molecular devices into a flower-shaped instrument for indicating the polarization of light. Each of 12 petals pointed in a differe...

Updated Feb 18, 2021 COVID-19 Bill Would Scale Up U.S. Ability To Spot Virus Mutations White House coronavirus coordinator Jeff Zients has called U.S. tracking of virus mutations “totally unacceptable,” saying the nation ranks 43rd in the world. RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. scientists would gain vastly expanded capabilities to identify potentially deadlier mutations of the coronavirus under COVID-19 relief legislation advancing in Congress. The U.S. now maps only the g...

Our results have revolutionised the previously held view of the evolution of mammoths.

Illumina has partnered up with Sequoia Capital’s China-based subsidiary to launch a new incubator for genomics startups.

Innovative breakthrough promises to diagnose DNA rearrangement mutations Doctors are increasingly using genetic signatures to diagnose diseases and determine the best course of care, but using DNA sequencing and other techniques to detect genomic rearrangements remains costly or limited in capabilities. However, an innovative breakthrough developed by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center and the VCU Department of Physics promises to diagnose DNA rearrangement mut...

Date Time Superstar of STEM’s genetic analysis helps protect koalas On Australia Day, one of Science & Technology Australia’s Superstars of STEM has unveiled a genetic analysis that could help save Australia’s iconic koalas. Superstar of STEM and DNA Zoo Australia Director Associate Professor Parwinder Kaur, from the University of Western Australia’s School of Agriculture and Environment, said the analysis could help better understand how to protect the beloved iconic Australian species...

Date Time Gene-editing produces tenfold increase in superbug slaying antibiotics Scientists have used gene-editing advances to achieve a tenfold increase in the production of super-bug targeting formicamycin antibiotics. The John Innes Centre researchers used the technology to create a new strain of Streptomyces formicae bacteria which over-produces the medically promising molecules. Discovered within the last ten years, formicamycins have great potential because, under laboratory conditions, s...

Business, you have the forefront of feeling the tech impact. its such a powerful impact for everybody, its been so stimulating for the economy. essentially the people now want to spend on prevention, want to have those services like hair rejuvenation or skin rejuvenation for the extensions, like you mentioned were doing their dna sequencing, understanding how not to get sick and how to prevent that. >> so people are spending money on themselves. and they are feelings of freedom to do that kind o...
