Infections by hantaviruses are rare but dangerous, killing 30–40% of infected people. When cases occur, public health ...

An easily implemented genome-sequencing method could help public health officials combat America's ongoing syphilis epidemic, researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine and Public ...

For the first time ever, DNA was successfully sequenced in microgravity as part of the Biomolecule Sequencer experiment performed by NASA astronaut Kate Rubins this weekend aboard the International ...

While next generation sequencing (NGS) has become a staple method for some researchers, it is often out of reach due to its high cost and technical challenges. To solve this problem, a novel ...

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed a new RNA sequencing strategy that can reveal how genetic variants disrupt gene function and improve the diagnosis of rare ...

For decades, scientists have struggled to untangle the genetic complexity of crops with multiple chromosome sets. Now, researchers have unveiled a cost-effective sequencing method, dpMIG-seq, that ...
