In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

"By cleverly combining new techniques for analyzing DNA at the level of individual molecules, we can achieve real breakthroughs in research into conditions such as dementia," predicts Professor John ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

Automated library preparation is critical for reducing errors, increasing repeatability, and reducing hands-on time, allowing researchers to generate sequence data from DNA more quickly. The CyBio ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

A team of scientists has created a new guide to advance standards for collecting and cataloging DNA from marine species, enhancing a revolutionary method for monitoring ocean biodiversity. The guide ...
