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 ...

High-throughput sequencing relies on mechanical and enzymatic techniques to break apart DNA into fragments in a consistent and reliable manner. However, traditional approaches tend to favor DNA ...

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 ...

A new ultra-high-throughput sequencing platform boosts output, speeds turnaround, and improves genome coverage. It reduces costs, broadens clinical applications, and accelerates large-scale genomics ...

To many, the genome is a puzzle—a many-sided puzzle whose meaning stretches across your life, your children's, and your family's. To many, the genome is a puzzle—a many-sided puzzle whose meaning ...
