Firmware-dwelling malware raises the specter of malware that infects the devices before the operating system even loads, each ...

The Human Genome project set out to sequence all of the 3 billion nucleotides in the human genome. Exactly how was this daunting task done with such incredible speed and accuracy? In 1986, a ...

Next-generation DNA sequencing has started a revolution in genomics and created the opportunity for large-scale sequencing projects, such as the recently announced 1,000 Genomes Project—an ...

Then we magnify the DNA and put it into a sequencing machine. This converts the biological material to get the source code. The source code is basically four letters—ATCG—in this case ...

A widely used DNA sequencer contains several worrying vulnerabilities. The Illumina iSeq 100 can be “easily” disabled or rigged to produce false results, say researchers. But it’s only the tip of the ...

Dr Loose's group also recently produced the most complete human genome sequence using a palm-sized "nanopore" sequencing machine. These potentially offer lower cost and faster processing for DNA ...

As a school at the forefront of genomic research, the University requires the latest DNA sequencing machines whenever they are released. Whenever a new machine arrives on campus, the DNA Services Lab ...

Introducing the Personal Genome Machine DNA sequencing technology isn't exactly accessible; a typical sequencing machine can easily cost $500,000. Ion Torrent aims to change that.

Rather, it makes billions of identical copies of a small sequence of DNA -- enough copies to allow a machine to detect marked bases within the DNA. At first glance, the method described below may ...

QIAGEN N.V. QGEN recently partnered with Genomics England to support the delivery of the Generation Study. QIAGEN’s Clinical ...

which cover larger ranges in the genome but contain several unsequenced gaps whose size is approximately known. With low machine costs, short sequencing time and reasonable amount of throughput ...

The properties of these nanopores dictate many of the materials' properties, enabling the latter to sense gases, filter out seawater, and even help in DNA sequencing. "The problem is that these 2D ...
