The cost of decoding our genetic makeup has plummeted. Just because it’s affordable doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth doing ...

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.

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, ...

PLAMseq utilizes a rapid biotinylation enzyme called TurboID, which tags nearby proteins, enabling the genomic loci and ...

Inside cells, DNA twists and coils itself into a variety of different secondary structures—including i-motifs (iMs) and ...

Different teams need to make the same conclusion multiple times before a consensus is reached and the finding can be built ...

Virginia Tech is taking genome science to the next level. The Roche GS-FLX is a genome sequencing system that permits researchers to obtain the sequence of a bacterial genome in mere days, and it has ...

The DNA inside of living organisms is packed with information, so much so that it's hard to search genetic databases, but there may be a solution.

A $49,500 educational matching grant from Beckman-Coulter, Inc. will allow the biology department at Calvin College to purchase a capillary electrophoresis DNA sequencer. The state-of-the-art DNA ...
