As a graduate student at Stanford University in the early 1990s, Jonathan Eisen convinced a friend with access to one of the first automated DNA sequencers to run 10,000 base pairs for him. "Doing it ...

Automated library preparation is critical for reducing errors, increasing repeatability, and reducing hands-on time, allowing researchers to generate sequence data from DNA more quickly. The CyBio ...

The Tecan Group and Oxford Nanopore Technologies plc (Oxford Nanopore) today announce their collaboration to drive easier high-throughput nanopore library preparation in an automated, hands-free ...

Despite these advances, the synthesis of DNA nanostructures has remained a largely manual and time-consuming process. Traditional approaches often require the precise mixing of hundreds of unique DNA ...

The state of DNA synthesis is a bit like humanity’s journey to the moon—just because something has been achieved before doesn’t mean we should cease figuring out how to do it better.” That is how ...

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 ...

In the early 1980s, Dr. Caruthers invented an efficient, automated technology for synthesizing DNA that remains the leading method today. The chemical reactions that Caruthers discovered accurately ...

Celera Genomics Group and Applied Biosystems Inc. are close partners in the gene-decoding industry and their prowess has turned both into lightening rods. Competitors decry their control of the DNA ...

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

The genomics revolution that reached its climax in 2000 owes its very existence to two men. The first is Frederick Sanger who in 1977 developed the method for DNA sequencing that now bears his name.
