High-Throughput Sequencing Let the Nanopore Wars begin: BGI has a new nanopore sequencer The Nanopore Wars are coming and BGI just fired the first salvo in what is sure to be an exciting conflict
Genetic Screening Low frequency variants are hard to detect, but don't let that stop you from implying you can catch them all Detecting variants can be challenging, especially detecting the ones that aren't very abundant.
PCR Who discovered PCR first? The answer might surprise you The method below has been cited more than 600,000 times and is one of the most important developments in the history of science.

Genetics Would you like some Hi-C with that Woolly Mammoth? Woolly Mammoths were just big, furry, elephants, right? Maybe, and now we have the tools to compare the structures of their genomes.
High-Throughput Sequencing Q-scores, what they mean, and why sometimes bigger isn't necessary High throughput sequencing metrics: Q-scores, what are they good for?
DNA Rosalind Franklin's legacy goes well beyond her work on the structure of DNA The most famous photo in the history of genetics wasn’t generated by Watson and Crick, but that didn’t stop them from using it to solve the structure of DNA.
