Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models, or cultured cells.

A Snakemake-based pipeline called Pipeasm automates key steps of genome assembly, from raw read trimming through scaffolding and contamination screening, and the authors report up to 99.6% BUSCO ...

UT researchers have developed the first viable alternative to a 75-year-old method for sequencing proteins. Image of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Scientists at The University of Texas ...

Sanger sequencing is the unsung workhorse of molecular biology, one whose value has long been undermined by the tedious nature of processing its data. Converting files of raw sequencing data into a ...

Researchers working with dried fungal specimens stored at Australia’s National Herbarium of Victoria have identified two new species of fungi by applying DNA sequencing to long-held collections. The ...

For the first time ever, DNA was successfully sequenced in microgravity as part of the Biomolecule Sequencer experiment performed by NASA astronaut Kate Rubins this weekend aboard the International ...

This research, led by Prof. Haichen Wu from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and Prof. Lei Liu from the Institute of High Energy Physics, CAS, alongside their ...

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, ...

While next generation sequencing (NGS) has become a staple method for some researchers, it is often out of reach due to its high cost and technical challenges. To solve this problem, a novel ...

A computational method called scSurv, developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, links individual cells to patient outcomes using widely available bulk RNA sequencing data. The approach ...
