Illumina is welcoming a new addition to its DNA sequencing lineup, with a pair of accessible benchtop instruments that incorporate the tech and chemistry used by its largest, top-of-the-line machines.

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 ...

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 ...

Sequencing an entirely complete human genome has been the work of decades. Twenty years ago, the Human Genome Project (HGP) declared their work finished, with an asterisk. Even a decade later, fully ...
