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 ...

PacBio has announced plans to enhance its methylation detection capabilities in HiFi sequencing by licensing advanced methods from Professor Dennis Lo and his team at The Chinese University of Hong ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that regulates genome function and plays key roles in development and disease 1. It is linked to a broad range of conditions, including ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

Ancient DNA (aDNA) research, or paleogenomics, extracts and analyzes genetic material from the remains of ancient organisms, including humans, animals, and plants. Due to its age and exposure to ...

A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely to benefit from PARP inhibitor cancer treatments, according to a study led ...

Researchers including those at the University of Tokyo have made a surprising discovery hiding in people's mouths: Inocles, giant DNA elements that had previously escaped detection. These appear to ...
