In a French criminal trial, conventional DNA analysis couldn’t distinguish between twin brothers, but emerging scientific ...

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 ...

Harvard scientists have unveiled a new technique called expansion in situ genome sequencing (ExIGS) that combines existing in situ genome sequencing (IGS) with expansion microscopy (ExM). The ...

Automated library preparation is critical for reducing errors, increasing repeatability, and reducing hands-on time, allowing researchers to generate sequence data from DNA more quickly. The CyBio ...

Cardiff University researchers discovered how a particularly severe type of DNA damage occurs, giving fresh insight into mutation mechanisms that contribute to cancer and inherited genetic diseases.

Scientists sequence hundreds of thousands of genomes for crucial large-scale research efforts, such as population genomics initiatives that process more than 10,000 samples per year, to explore ...
