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 ...

The Earth BioGenome Project seeks to genetically profile over a million plants, animals, and fungi as they build an atlas of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

“Basically, we are hacking DNA sequencing machines and letting them do all ... tens of thousands or more genes expressed, too much to make heads or tails of without the help of a computer ...
