Because the knife-edge nanoprobe is also 10 micrometers wide, the probe will always pass over the DNA. The key to this type of sequencing is that each nano-knife edge probe is 'tuned' to recognize ...

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 ...

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Nucleic acids are named for where they're found—inside the nuclei of cells—and for the ...

The accuracy of nanopore sequencing depends on various factors, such as the type of nanopore used, the quality of the sample, and the complexity of the genome being sequenced. To address these ...

Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MTDPS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a marked decrease in mitochondrial ...

Epigenetic modifications involve chemical changes to DNA that do not alter its sequence but can influence its function. One ...

Using a new technique, long-read sequencing, that allows DNA to be analyzed in much greater ... greater complexity than we had expected for all types of abnormalities," says the study's last ...
