DNA microarrays let scientists study thousands of genes at once by binding DNA probes to chips and detecting hybridization with fluorescent signals. They’re used for gene expression profiling, SNP ...

A full-size, high-density RNA microchip is about the size of a fingernail and can contain up to 780 000 unique RNA sequences, each occupying a ~14 x 14 μm² area. The presence and the quality of the ...

Years of experiments and databases filled with RNA-seq results belie the simple reality that, until fairly recently, it was impossible to analyze RNA directly. The RNA-seq studies performed with ...

A group of a few dozen colorful translucent 3D blobs, many of which overlap, contain brightly colored dots against a black background. Three-dimensional transcriptomics data from an instrument ...

Plasmidsaurus has launched a new RNA-Seq service for Illumina short read applications, bringing the same approach they use for plasmid sequencing to gene expression analysis. Attendees at this week’s ...

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 ...
