Saliva is an easily accessible source of high molecular weight DNA for Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing applications.

The new technique is called CLASSIC, an acronym for “combining long and short range sequencing to investigate genetic ...

This important study, which tackles the challenge of analyzing genome integrity and instability in unicellular pathogens by introducing a novel single-cell genomics approach, presents compelling ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Miami University’s Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics (CBFG) has become one of the first institutions in the region to acquire the PacBio VEGA Benchtop System — a cutting-edge DNA ...

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 ...

A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

Newborn babies admitted to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) rely on the quick decisions and rapid action of the medical team responsible for them. DNA testing is critical to ...
