The first DNA sequencing method was developed by Frederick Sanger in 1977. The technique was based on incorporation of chain-terminating dideoxynucleotides by DNA polymerase while replicating DNA. So ...

As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a ...

DNA sequencing has undergone radical advances since the first Sanger sequencing method was introduced in 1977. Sanger sequencing made use of randomly added chain-terminating deoxynucleotides during ...

DNA molecules are not fixed objects – they are constantly getting broken up and glued back together to adopt new shapes. Davide Michieletto explains how this process can be harnessed to create a new ...

Researchers in the US and Israel have developed a way to make 3D superconducting nanostructures by combining DNA with niobium and silicon. This new technique might be used to make signal amplifiers ...

32 P-label is introduced by incoming dGT 32 P molecule. The arrows indicate the sites of enzymatic hydrolysis. The bases of the template DNA strand are designated as clear boxes, and the bases in the ...
