Sanger sequencing is the unsung workhorse of molecular biology, one whose value has long been undermined by the tedious nature of processing its data. Converting files of raw sequencing data into a ...

For the first time ever, DNA was successfully sequenced in microgravity as part of the Biomolecule Sequencer experiment performed by NASA astronaut Kate Rubins this weekend aboard the International ...

Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative ...

This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...

While next generation sequencing (NGS) has become a staple method for some researchers, it is often out of reach due to its high cost and technical challenges. To solve this problem, a novel ...

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, ...

Long-read sequencing is being harnessed to improve the rate of rare disease diagnosis. Researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz (CA, USA) have demonstrated that long-read sequencing (LRS ...

Watchmaker Genomics, an innovator in high-performance solutions for next-generation sequencing (NGS), today announced a non-exclusive license with Caribou Biosciences, Inc., a leading clinical-stage ...

The human genome is made up of 3 billion letters of DNA (A, T, C and G). Whole genome sequencing is a technique that is used ...

A sequencing study conducted in Uganda reveals that one in four people has been exposed to a deadly hemorrhagic virus.
