Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have simulated a new concept for rapid, accurate gene sequencing by pulling a DNA molecule through a tiny, chemically activated ...

"By cleverly combining new techniques for analyzing DNA at the level of individual molecules, we can achieve real breakthroughs in research into conditions such as dementia," predicts Professor John ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that regulates genome function and plays key roles in development and disease 1. It is linked to a broad range of conditions, including ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars, ...

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard bases—a task once thought too ...

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 ...

Through genomic sequencing and analysis, clinicians can identify specific mutations present in a patient’s cancer cells and deliver personalized treatment based on the genetic information. Increased ...

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 ...
