As a graduate student at Stanford University in the early 1990s, Jonathan Eisen convinced a friend with access to one of the first automated DNA sequencers to run 10,000 base pairs for him. "Doing it ...

A streamlined, automated process helps scientists coordinate site-ready production-level whole genome sequencing results.

Automated library preparation is critical for reducing errors, increasing repeatability, and reducing hands-on time, allowing researchers to generate sequence data from DNA more quickly. The CyBio ...

Despite these advances, the synthesis of DNA nanostructures has remained a largely manual and time-consuming process. Traditional approaches often require the precise mixing of hundreds of unique DNA ...

Celera Genomics Group and Applied Biosystems Inc. are close partners in the gene-decoding industry and their prowess has turned both into lightening rods. Competitors decry their control of the DNA ...

Johan Strömqvist, PhD, has always been interested in “seeing” molecules, particularly in three dimensions (3D). Strömqvist worked with optical single-molecule imaging for his PhD and then founded a ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In 1976, workers excavating a tunnel for the Toronto subway system ...

Whole genome analysis plays a critical role in the development of life-saving diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines, with growing interest in noncoding regions and Whole genome analysis plays a ...
