MIT has developed a DNA sensor that can detect HPV and HIV infections through voltage changes. The sensor is durable and ...

MIT’s CRISPR sensor detects cancer and HIV for 50 cents and stays effective for two months without refrigeration.

Using an inexpensive electrode coated with DNA, MIT researchers have designed disposable diagnostics that could be adapted to detect a variety of diseases, including cancer or infectious diseases such ...

When fused to an enzyme, Cas9 and Cas12 can make targeted chemical changes to DNA at locations determined by the gRNA sequence. The team chose Cas12 because of its innate ability to process an RNA ...

Direct single-impact electrochemistry is a rapidly evolving analytical method based on the collision of redox-active species, such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), with a biased microelectrode. The ...

When fused to an enzyme, Cas9 and Cas12 can make targeted chemical changes to DNA at locations determined by the gRNA sequence. The team chose Cas12 because of its innate ability to process an RNA ...

Finding the genes that control a complex trait is difficult because each gene may have only minor phenotypic effects. Quantitative trait loci mapping and genome-wide association study techniques have ...
