For decades, scientists have struggled to untangle the genetic complexity of crops with multiple chromosome sets. Now, researchers have unveiled a cost-effective sequencing method, dpMIG-seq, that ...

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed a new RNA sequencing strategy that can reveal how genetic variants disrupt gene function and improve the diagnosis of rare ...

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, ...

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 ...

The idea for the LRGASP Consortium was originally discussed among scientists at a conference in 2019.

Bacteria are among the most diverse lifeforms on Earth, so it’s no surprise that their genomes have yielded a treasure trove of fascinating discoveries. The study of bacterial genomes has led to the ...

Cambridge, MA - Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, was published this week in Nature ...

A new single-cell technology is giving scientists their clearest view yet of immune cell behavior—capturing not just genetic intent, but real-time activity. By measuring RNA and proteins ...

What is Third-Generation Sequencing? Third-generation sequencing, also known as long-read sequencing, refers to the latest advancements in DNA sequencing technologies that enable the analysis of ...

Long-read sequencing is being harnessed to improve the rate of rare disease diagnosis. Researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz (CA, USA) have demonstrated that long-read sequencing (LRS ...
