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 ...

A team of researchers has built a new protein sequencing workflow that pairs mirror proteases with deep learning software to read peptide sequences with far greater accuracy than previous methods.

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 image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...

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

NASA is not often known for making the best use of existing COTS (commercial off the shelf technology) aboard the ISS. Then again, sometimes they are. This is an example of when the agency really ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In 1976, workers excavating a tunnel for the Toronto subway system ...

Whether you’re interested in why a living system works as it does or the reasons it goes awry, proteins are a critical part of the molecular picture. The proteins circulating in a person’s plasma can ...

Research has warned that your DNA data can be hacked into and used against you by exploiting certain vulnerabilities in modern techniques. A study published in IEEE Access has revealed weaknesses in ...
