In August 1997, four scientists met at a pub in Cambridge with little more than an idea about how DNA could be read faster.

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 ...

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 ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

Repetitive sequences make extrachromosomal DNA vulnerable to breaks, which could be exploited for therapy — but might also promote tumour evolution.
