Centuries-old genetic material can solve historical mysteries, from lost species to what killed Napoleon’s army.

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

In its system each DNA molecule from a sample occupies a distinct position in a flow cell, enabling simultaneous sequencing of billions of DNA strands. “Because we employ a True Single Molecule ...

DNA sequencing was revolutionized after scientists discovered a new bacterium in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park, and today it's a common research technique. This game-changing bacterium ...

A new spatial transcriptomics technology—the DNA nanotechnology-driven method called “Light-Seq”—allows researchers to “geotag” the full repertoire of RNA sequences with unique DNA barcodes exclusive ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

When a critically ill 3-month-old infant entered a Stanford hospital with unexplained seizures, physicians were mystified by the young patient’s illness. The infant displayed many signs of epilepsy, ...
