The technology, which is at a proof-of-concept stage, is a first step toward a biosensor chip that can be implanted in the body to detect a specific DNA mutation—in real time—and transmit the information wirelessly to a mobile device

Seokheun "Sean" Choi, assistant professor of computer and electrical engineering at Binghamton University, along with two of his students, developed the device

Scientists may know the structure of a protein or its function, but haven't always been able to link the two

Research describes an aspect of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing method, which makes use of dCas9, a disabled protein

Researchers achieve real-time single molecule electronic DNA sequencing at single-base resolution using a protein nanopore array—a future platform for precision medicine

Dr. Kandice Tanner of NIH wins 2016 honor

Study advances search for silicon chip replacement

The fibers are hair-like protein filaments called “pili” that have the unique property of transporting charges at speeds of 1 billion electrons per second

Farmers can use fewer resources to grow food

A new method to control the activity of neurons in mice, devised by scientists at Rockefeller University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, uses magnetic forces to remotely control the flow of ions into specifically targeted cells.
