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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Article reviewed by Ninning Liu, PhD from the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. Similar to retail stores that use standardized ...

Patients with cancer are increasingly having tumor DNA sequenced: The technology has improved, prices have dropped, and such sequencing can identify a new treatment approach. But some investigators ...

A method long considered the gold standard in genetic mutation discovery now faces stiff competition from a relatively new approach that’s helping increase the rate at which genetic disorders are ...
