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 ...

The method, which uses nanopores to read individual nucleotides, paves the way for better – and cheaper – DNA sequencing. DNA sequencing is a technique that can determine exact sequence of a DNA ...

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard bases — a task once thought too ...
