In a French criminal trial, conventional DNA analysis couldn’t distinguish between twin brothers, but emerging scientific methods could help in such cases.

MASSIVELY parallel sequencing (MPS) has transformed forensic DNA analysis by allowing scientists to examine multiple DNA ...

Phylogenetic analysis and DNA sequence representation are foundational pillars in modern molecular biology and bioinformatics. These approaches not only facilitate the reconstruction of evolutionary ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of ...

The presence or absence of remaining foreign DNA from the crossbred progeny of the genome-edited crop and the original crop cultivar can be determined by GenEditScan, based on the k-mer method.

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Market Outlook and Growth TrajectoryThe global next generation sequencing market is poised to experience robust expansion, registering an estimated growth rate of around 15% over the next five years.

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 ...
