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 ...
Zettabytes—that’s 10 21 bytes—of data are currently generated every year. All of those cat videos have to be stored somewhere, and DNA is a great storage medium; it has amazing data density and is ...
Sequencing nearly half a million genomes, researchers show that most additive genetic influences on height, lipids, and other complex traits are now directly measurable, while pinpointing ultra-rare ...
Students take samples of water and the microscopic creatures within at the Alviso Marina County Park. (Image by Erika Cardema) At the Alviso Marina County Park, reddish-brown water laps at the edge of ...
The collection of high-quality genomic DNA remains a major barrier in pediatric and neurodevelopmental research, particularly ...
A streamlined, automated process helps scientists coordinate site-ready production-level whole genome sequencing results.
