It’s a bit like giving the soil a DNA test.” A new droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) method quantifies root DNA directly from soil ...

We spoke to David Klenerman, co-developer of sequencing by synthesis, to find out how his work heralded the next generation ...

In the study of bacteria, a longstanding dogma has held that two molecular machines—RNA polymerase, which leads the way in transcribing DNA into RNA, and ribosomes, which bring up the rear translating ...

What would you do if you could sequence everything? What if sample preparation was simple and unbiased? What types of experiments could you envision? Although we have not quite reached the point where ...

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a particularly widespread and well-studied species, the invasive Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), which was accomplished using a combination of 454 ...
