As nucleic acid sequencing has become dazzlingly fast, accurate, and affordable, sequencing a whole genome has gone from a trumpeted accomplishment to another day at the office. Now, metagenomic ...

A graphic representation of a round, lumpy, blue protein and a single, comblike, purple strand of RNA interacting with a twisted, double, blue strand of DNA that separates where it meets the RNA. A ...

It used to be that if you wanted to find a DNA sequence in a particular sample, you had to go searching for that specific sequence—you had to fish it out with a hook designed especially to catch it.

A wealth of information lies within DNA, but current technologies limit scientists’ exploration of genetics, epigenetics, and gene expression. Modern sequencing technologies typically analyze one -ome ...
