The powerful method, called Chem-map, lifts the veil of this genomic black box by enabling researchers to detect where small molecule drugs interact with their targets on the DNA genome.

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars ...

Shortening the sequencing and analysis process to seven hours and expanding the sequencing from a few genes to the entire genome could fundamentally alter the diagnostic odyssey. Ultra-rapid DNA ...

DNA sequencing is the process of determining the precise order of nucleotides within a DNA molecule. It involves reading the sequence of the four DNA bases - adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), ...

Sequencing DNA in SpaceThe MinION DNA sequencer sits atop a state-of-the-art next-generation sequencer. The MinION is significantly smaller than typical laboratory sequencers that are less ...

Will the Apple Watch Series 10 or 12 offer handy real-time DNA sequencing? It’s not beyond the realm of possibility, thanks to a series of scientific breakthroughs. And it could revolutionize ...

When DNA sequencing first broke onto the scene in the 1970s, one method shone brighter than even Sanger sequencing. However, this method is now almost obsolete. What was it and what happened to it? In ...

Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) has transformed the way scientists understand genetics. With the ability to sequence DNA and RNA faster and cheaper than ever before, this technology is ...

MeDIP-sequencing involves fragmenting the DNA into various lengths and then using a 5mC antibody to target the methylated fragments. Although this is a relatively low-cost method that can sequence the ...

Because the chemistry of DNA is so simple, the process of sequencing it is straightforward enough that anyone with a basic understanding of biology can probably understand the fundamentals.

Biomedical engineers have devised a method for making future genome sequencing faster and cheaper by dramatically reducing the amount of DNA required, thus eliminating the expensive, time ...
