Although it is an important technology for studying genomes, DNA sequencing was initially accomplished in 1977 by Frederick Sanger. Since its conception, the technology has developed rapidly. Alvaro G ...

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 ...

In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models, or cultured cells.

Researchers working with dried fungal specimens stored at Australia’s National Herbarium of Victoria have identified two new species of fungi by applying DNA sequencing to long-held collections. The ...

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 ...

Harvard scientists have unveiled a new technique called expansion in situ genome sequencing (ExIGS) that combines existing in situ genome sequencing (IGS) with expansion microscopy (ExM). The ...

Whether you’re interested in why a living system works as it does or the reasons it goes awry, proteins are a critical part of the molecular picture. The proteins circulating in a person’s plasma can ...
