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 ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

MASSIVELY parallel sequencing (MPS) has transformed forensic DNA analysis by allowing scientists to examine multiple DNA ...

What is Third-Generation Sequencing? Third-generation sequencing, also known as long-read sequencing, refers to the latest advancements in DNA sequencing technologies that enable the analysis of ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars, ...

In a French criminal trial, conventional DNA analysis couldn’t distinguish between twin brothers, but emerging scientific methods could help in such cases.

The researchers deeply sequenced five head and neck squamous carcinomas, four lung squamous carcinomas, and one colorectal adenoma.

A new DNA sequencing technique that delivers faster and more accurate bacterial infection diagnoses could be implemented nationwide. The method, developed by the Medicines and Healthcare products ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

The COVID-19 pandemic brought the term "Polymerase Chain Reaction testing" into the mainstream. The PCR method is a type of ...
