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 ...

Most of your DNA will look just like that of any other person. But tiny differences in the spelling or sequence of those letters in thousands of genes across your genome explain, in part ...

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 ...

DNA has two strands. Each strand is a sequence of four chemical bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). The strands are anti-parallel and complementary. ‘Anti-parallel ...

The gold standard technology that scientists use to detect DNA methylation is bisulfite genomic sequencing. It is a qualitative, quantitative, and efficient approach to identify methylated cytosine at ...

The VEGA system is a third generation DNA sequencing technology enabling the sequencing of much larger DNA fragments compared to earlier methods. It can dramatically accelerate research timelines, ...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has made analyzing DNA faster and cheaper, with effects felt in the lab, clinic, and beyond. A set of newly-launched technologies are offering a twist on the ...

This increased optical power output enables higher measurement precision and accelerated processing of biological samples, ...

Rapidly mutating DNA regions were mapped using a multi-generational family and advanced sequencing tools. Understanding how ...
