Reliable technique should improve clinical trials, nutrition studies and historical research DURHAM, N.C. – What people say they’ve eaten and what they’ve actually eaten are often two very different ...

DNA barcoding is now being used to identify the plant matter in human feces, revealing what a person has eaten. A reliable genetic marker for plant-based foods can be retrieved from poop, showing not ...

With eDNA metabarcoding, researchers read DNA traces from soil, water, or even air as if they were barcodes. This allows them to discover which plants are or were present, even when they are invisible ...

(Nanowerk News) Currently, many diseases are diagnosed from blood tests that look for one biomarker (such as a protein or other small molecule) or, at most, a couple of biomarkers of the same type.

With the ability to map dozens of biomarkers at once, a new method could transform testing for conditions including heart disease and cancer. With the ability to map dozens of biomarkers at once, a ...
