Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative ...

A team of researchers has built a new protein sequencing workflow that pairs mirror proteases with deep learning software to ...

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 ...

In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models, or cultured cells. To fully realize the potential to study biology at this unprecedented ...

When the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak, and multiple variants were threatening lives around the world, scientists relied on a process called "tiled amplicon sequencing" to track the virus's spread ...

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 ...

To understand more fully the role of RNA and its modifications in living systems, researchers will need robust, reproducible, and accessible tools and techniques capable of identifying all RNA ...

RNA sequencing works best on fresh-frozen cells, but that’s not usually how samples from surgery or biopsies are prepared. For more than a century, the preferred method for long-term preservation of ...

Genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 "gene scissors" is a powerful tool for biological discovery and for identifying novel drug targets. In pooled CRISPR screens, a large number of cells are edited ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars, ...
