How can you write data to DNA without changing the base sequence? A new method lets anyone with a kit write data to DNA with just one enzyme.
Primarily, next-generation sequencing technologies operate through step-wise cycles of polymerase-based extension or oligonucleotide ligation that rely on piecing together short reads from fragmented ...
A “DNA microscope” shows locations of DNA (and its cousin, RNA) in a cell and their precise nucleotide sequences.
Scientists have decoded the longest continuous DNA sequence to date, measuring around 10,000 times longer than normal sequencing reads.
DNA sequencing by synthesis (SBS) on a solid surface during polymerase reaction offers a paradigm to decipher DNA sequences. We report here the construction of such a DNA sequencing system using ...
Homologous recombination involves the exchange of nucleotide sequences to repair damaged bases on both strands of DNA through the utilization of a sister chromatid.
A single DNA nucleotide, the base unit of the human genome, is a tiny, tiny thing. Each one is made up of only 30 atoms (plus or minus a few, depending on the base), making it much too small to be ...
