A group of a few dozen colorful translucent 3D blobs, many of which overlap, contain brightly colored dots against a black background. Three-dimensional transcriptomics data from an instrument ...

With rapid progress in sequencing technologies and the successful completion of the project’s pilot phase, the effort to map the human genetic blueprint gained significant momentum. This acceleration ...

In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models or cultured cells. To fully realize the potential to study biology at this unprecedented scale ...

In 1995, with the Human Genome Project underway, sequencing was all the rage. Scientists working on the project cloned short fragments of the whole genome and used Sanger sequencing to determine the ...

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 ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...
