DNA sequence optimization in molecular computing encompasses the purposeful design and refinement of oligonucleotide libraries to perform information processing tasks at the nanoscale. By exploiting ...

High-throughput sequencing relies on mechanical and enzymatic techniques to break apart DNA into fragments in a consistent and reliable manner. However, traditional approaches tend to favor DNA ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

A pioneering partnership between researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has produced a novel nanopore sensing platform for ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

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 ...

Arlow, PhD, examine how enzymatic DNA synthesis and DNA construct design mitigate antibody expression challenges.
