Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by ...

Molecular biology is an ever-changing field, and most significant developments have happened because of changes in plasmid DNA sequencing. A plasmid, a circular and small double-stranded DNA entity ...

Miami University’s Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics (CBFG) has become one of the first institutions in the region to acquire the PacBio VEGA Benchtop System — a cutting-edge DNA ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

DNA sequencing is a revolutionary technology that enables scientists to decipher the life-giving instructions contained within the genetic code of all organisms. At its core, DNA sequencing is the ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

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 ...

Brains with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) show DNA damage similar to Alzheimer’s. Study links genetic stress to ...
