In 1986, a company named Applied Biosystems began to manufacture automated DNA sequencing machines based on the ... time and cost considerations continued to make it expensive, thus limiting ...

PCR makes it possible to produce millions of copies of a DNA sequence in a test tube in just ... To automate this process, a machine called a thermocycler jump-starts each stage of the reaction ...

To sequence a strand of DNA, the machine synthesizes a complementary strand, sequentially attempting to add each of the four bases that make up DNA one by one to the well. When the correct base is ...

But the scientists hope the work will make it quicker ... a palm-sized "nanopore" sequencing machine. These potentially offer lower cost and faster processing for DNA sequencing.

Rather, it makes billions of identical copies of a small sequence of DNA -- enough copies to allow a machine to detect marked bases within the DNA. At first glance, the method described below may ...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. A new method, developed by University of Michigan researchers, creates images that are worth many gigabytes of data, which could revolutionize the way ...

What is DNA, and how does it work? You don't need a degree in genetics to understand. Here, we'll give an overview of DNA and ...

Advances in DNA sequencing and the vast amounts of genomic data being produced by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology ...

White band disease has been devastating colonies of staghorn and elkhorn corals in the Caribbean, but the major pathogenic ...

Researchers have developed a computational technique that makes spatial RNA transcripts more accessible and precise, allowing them to be visualized at microscopic resolution.
