Next-generation sequencing (NGS), especially long-read DNA sequencing, is transforming infectious organism detection by ...

Newborn babies admitted to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) rely on the quick decisions and rapid action of the medical team responsible for them. DNA testing is critical to ...

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 ...

Researchers in France and Japan have transmitted what they describe as the first DNA-encrypted message between laboratories, ...

Nanopore sensors are tiny devices used to detect and analyze individual molecules by measuring ionic changes as the molecules pass through nanometer-scale openings. These sensors are classified into ...

"Our new, in-house, whole-genome sequencing lab transforms the hospital's capabilities, speeds up the process — and most importantly — improves patient outcomes," said Alisa Gaskell, PhD, Chief ...

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

Othram scientists work in a Texas-based lab to build genealogical profiles of missing people and crime suspects. In 1992, Pittsburgh Police and River Rescue recovered a man’s body from the Allegheny ...
