WGS is a laboratory technique that involves determining the complete DNA sequence of an organism's genome. “The concept was pioneered in the 1970s, but it was not until the development of ...

Illumina Illumina is improving human health by unlocking the power of the genome. Our focus on innovation has established us as the global leader in DNA sequencing and array-based technologies, ...

Rapid whole-genome sequencing (rWGS) is an emerging alternative to standard WGS, with the potential to provide expedited results in under 50 hours compared to several weeks. rWGS empowers medical ...

“Compared to exome sequencing, genome sequencing provided clarity in an additional 8% of cases: that is significantly more,” explains Professor Rami Abou Jamra, who led the study in Leipzig.

Scientists are seeking to decipher the role of non-coding DNA in the human genome, helped by a suite of ...

The size of Single Technologies’ 3D DNA sequencing matrix (left) compared to Illumina’s S4 flow cell (right). “If you take all the Post-it notes and put them on the table, you could fill a ...

Nonetheless, whole-genome sequencing is starting to reach the commercial market. US company Veritas was one of the first to offer a whole-genome service to the public, for $999, in 2016.

While the petite device is already being used to sequence DNA on Earth, it has never been used to do so in space. NASA minION flight hardware for the ISS experiments.

The Whitebark Pine Genome Project used genetic material from a 150-year-old tree from the Deschutes National Forest near Bend, Oregon, to isolate and sequence the DNA. Researchers identified 25,362 ...
