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 ...

Rosalind, a Rust-built genomics library, runs whole genome sequencing analysis in 100 MB of RAM on a laptop, with no cloud ...

Illumina is welcoming a new addition to its DNA sequencing lineup, with a pair of accessible benchtop instruments that incorporate the tech and chemistry used by its largest, top-of-the-line machines.

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 ...

Long-read sequencing technologies analyze long, continuous stretches of DNA. These methods have the potential to improve researchers' ability to detect complex genetic alterations in cancer genomes.

Sequencing an entirely complete human genome has been the work of decades. Twenty years ago, the Human Genome Project (HGP) declared their work finished, with an asterisk. Even a decade later, fully ...

Current clinical challenges in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) include difficult-to-treat relapsed/refractory disease and considerable long-term toxicities of treatment. Since clinical risk factors lack ...

Daniel Svensson and Anna-Mia Johansson take a break from DNA extractions to discuss new results. Both are research engineers at the Department of Ecology, Environment and Geoscience, Umeå University, ...
