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 power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

Although it is an important technology for studying genomes, DNA sequencing was initially accomplished in 1977 by Frederick Sanger. Since its conception, the technology has developed rapidly. Alvaro G ...

Miami University’s Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics (CBFG) has become one of the first institutions in the region to acquire the PacBio VEGA Benchtop System — a cutting-edge DNA ...
