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 ...

After listing her credentials from Harvard to Cambridge, she gave hours of complex testimony validating that genetic sequencing has dramatically advanced with high-precision nuclear DNA ...

Next-generation DNA sequencing has started a revolution in genomics and created the opportunity for large-scale sequencing projects, such as the recently announced 1,000 Genomes Project—an ...

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, ...

With bobbing shorebirds as company, a group of UC Santa Cruz undergraduate students collect water samples from this dynamic but understudied environment, to bring them back to campus and identify the ...
