Somatic mutations, the DNA changes that occur as our bodies grow and age, not only hold an important key to cancer but are ...

Researchers in the Philippines have used 16S rRNA sequencing and greenhouse pathogenicity tests to confirm Ralstonia ...

A new study by researchers at the University of South Florida and Florida Atlantic University has demonstrated that a DNA ...

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 ...

Long-read DNA testing diagnosed 35% of previously unsolved inherited muscle disease cases, detecting complex genetic changes ...

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, ...

Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, has been published in Nature Communications.

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

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 ...

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 ...
