In his Nobel Prize acceptance speech in 1980, genomics pioneer Fred Sanger described science as “a voyage of discovery into ...

I think it's amusing when scientific lingo finds its way into popular speech, because it is often distorted in interesting ways. When political commentators talk about a "litmus test" they're not ...

Due to its high accuracy and fast, simple workflow, capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a foundational technology for clinical applications. CE is an invaluable tool used to detect genetic variations ...

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 ...

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 ...

As questions surrounding paternity fraud and DNA disputes gain prominence, experts maintain that despite the introduction of Next Generation Sequencing [NGS] Capillary Electrophoresis [CE] precision, ...

The Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) meeting celebrated its 25 th anniversary in sunny Marco Island, Florida, with the customary mix of big name speakers addressing researchers and ...
