At a time when large-scale human genome analysis was not yet common, the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization (ToMMo) launched its genome cohort study. After 10 years of operating this ambitious ...

Researchers have developed an ultra-mild bisulfite sequencing method (UMBS-seq) that preserves DNA integrity while delivering highly accurate methylation measurements. The new approach overcomes ...

This article introduces the field of bioinformatics and its importance as a cornerstone of biological research, as well as ...

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 ...

Researchers set a new world record for the fastest DNA sequencing, completing a whole genome in under four hours—a breakthrough with potential for faster, targeted care.

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 ...
