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 ...

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 ...

Protein nanopores are the holy grail in the field of analytical biology. These nanometer-sized proteins form regular pores in lipid membranes and are widely used for single-molecule DNA and RNA ...

UC Riverside scientists have developed a nanopore-based tool that could help diagnose illnesses much faster and with greater precision than current tests allow, by capturing signals from individual ...

EpiCypher® has unveiled its CUTANA® Fiber-seq Kit, designed to make cutting-edge single-molecule chromatin mapping accessible ...

Although it is an important technology for studying genomes, DNA sequencing was initially accomplished in 1977 by Frederick Sanger. Since its conception, the technology has developed rapidly. Alvaro G ...
