Powerful new applications of what is known as next-generation sequencing are now helping with identification of degraded ...

By Abhishyant Kidangoor Tyler Kartzinel likens protecting biodiversity to enhancing cellphone networks. His analogy is pretty ...

DNA sequencing is a laboratory method used to determine the sequence of a DNA molecule. The method was developed by Frederick Sanger in 1975, who was later awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in ...

Upstart sequencing company Ultima Genomics told STAT it will soon launch a line of instruments that can read a human genome for as little as $100.

As this happens, the nitrogenous bases that make up the DNA affect the ion current flowing through the pore, and by measuring these current changes, researchers can decode the DNA sequence. Now, ...

These computing resources are needed to power the DNA assembly and analysis, the computer-science heavy final step in the sequencing process. “It was really cool to see how sequencing goes from a wet ...

Many life-saving drugs directly interact with DNA to treat diseases such as cancer, but scientists have struggled to detect how and why they work – until now. In a paper published in the journal ...

A cutting-edge diagnostic test is helping some doctors find diagnoses for medical mysteries by analyzing DNA and RNA to detect a broad swath of viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites, according to ...

But the new study used advanced sequencing technologies to reveal the most rapidly changing regions of human DNA—regions that Quinlan describes as “previously untouchable.” “We saw parts of our genome ...

The overarching goals of the workshop are to (1) examine the known and expected benefits, and potential harms, of the widespread utilization of newborn DNA sequencing, (2) explore the ethical and data ...
