In just a few decades, DNA sequencing technologies evolved from slow, manual processes to rapid, automated ones, making ...

Scaffolded DNA and RNA origami is a technique that allows scientists to build tiny, highly precise two- and three-dimensional ...

Researchers at Harvard University have developed a semiconductor chip that can synthesize 64 different ...

A $49,500 educational matching grant from Beckman-Coulter, Inc. will allow the biology department at Calvin College to purchase a capillary electrophoresis DNA sequencer. The state-of-the-art DNA ...

NASA is not often known for making the best use of existing COTS (commercial off the shelf technology) aboard the ISS. Then again, sometimes they are. This is an example of when the agency really ...

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 ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

For the first time ever, DNA was successfully sequenced in microgravity as part of the Biomolecule Sequencer experiment performed by NASA astronaut Kate Rubins this weekend aboard the International ...

Researchers at the Center for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM) have developed a new system that combines spore trapping ...

Deep-sea researchers uncovered more than 500 million unique genes and a promising protein that could improve DNA sequencing ...
