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.

This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...

Improvements in methodology have dramatically dropped the cost of DNA sequencing in the last decade ... and armed with an X-Ray machine and suitable optical microscope, he eventually figured ...

A team of UK scientists have claimed the record for decoding the world's longest DNA sequence. The scientists produced a DNA read that is about 10,000 times longer than normal, and twice as large ...
