Cambridge, MA - Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, was published this week in Nature ...
In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models or cultured cells. To fully realize the potential to study biology at this unprecedented scale ...
DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that regulates genome function and plays key roles in development and disease 1. It is linked to a broad range of conditions, including ...
Miami University’s Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics (CBFG) has become one of the first institutions in the region to acquire the PacBio VEGA Benchtop System — a cutting-edge DNA ...
Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars, ...
A new DNA sequencing technique that delivers faster and more accurate bacterial infection diagnoses could be implemented nationwide. The method, developed by the Medicines and Healthcare products ...
Advances in DNA sequencing technology help forensic biologists identify suspects where traditional DNA profiling has failed, ...
New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our ...
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 ...
