This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...

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

Scientists have broken the world record for sequencing DNA and they're already using the new tech to help care for newborns ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

Molecular biology is an ever-changing field, and most significant developments have happened because of changes in plasmid DNA sequencing. A plasmid, a circular and small double-stranded DNA entity ...

DNA methylation is a fundamental epigenetic mechanism in which a methyl group is added onto a nucleotide, commonly cytosine. DNA methylation affects many biological processes, including gene ...

The DNA inside of living organisms is packed with information, so much so that it's hard to search genetic databases, but ...

The first complete genetic portrait of a so‑called “last Neanderthal” is forcing scientists to redraw the map of our origins, ...
