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 ...

A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...

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 ...

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 ...

DNA data storage is a big deal. Partly, it's because we're based on DNA, and any research into manipulation of that molecule will pay dividends for medicine and biology in general -- but in part, it's ...

When it comes to finding answers, every moment counts—especially in critical care settings like the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units (NICU and PICU). Although rapid genetic tests, whether ...

The ongoing Italian clinical and research FPG500 program is designed to tailor matched targeted therapies (MTTs) based on "biomarkers predictive of response identified by comprehensive genome profiling ...

Emerging methods are improving the ability to identify even highly degraded human remains. By Damien Cave Reporting from Hanoi, Vietnam The world is facing an abundance of tragic events that produce ...
