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 ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

Chemist Anne Lüscher showed at 39C3 how synthetic DNA can be used for data storage and tamper-proof authentication.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies first emerged in the early 2000s and have had a dramatic effect on how we understand and diagnose human diseases. By enabling research scientists and ...

DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

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 ...

CHANGE-seq-BE was developed to enable scientists to better understand base editors, an important class of CRISPR precise genome editors.

Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...
