A team reports achieving real-time single molecule electronic DNA sequencing at single-base resolution using a protein nanopore array. The work sets the stage for revolutionary, cost-effective genetic ...

In a recent study published in Nature Biotechnology, researchers developed a whole-genome sequencing (WGS) method that read four canonical deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) bases, viz., adenine (A), ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...

It’s time to turn to sequencing the epigenome, the DNA modifications that alter gene expression and determine our individual genetic identity. DNA molecule with methylation on the center cytosine ...

This radical new method could preserve our entire knowledge base for thousands of years, in a storage medium the size of a coffee cup.

The building block of life is often heralded as the cornerstone of a new generation of electronic devices and computers, but the electronic properties of DNA remain highly controversial. 1 Back to ...
