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 ...

A team of scientists has created a new guide to advance standards for collecting and cataloging DNA from marine species, enhancing a revolutionary method for monitoring ocean biodiversity. The guide ...

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 ...

Cornell (NY, USA) 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 ...
