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 ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

Centuries-old genetic material can solve historical mysteries, from lost species to what killed Napoleon’s army.

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind ...

When it comes to critical care for newborns, being able to act fast is of the utmost importance, which is why this new DNA ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Cornell (NY, USA) researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move ...

We are doing some sequencing of a DNA piece that has a poly G in the 5' UTR. The sequence run has extra G's compared to what we thought we had made. I mentioned that it could be a product of slippage ...
