Berkeley — For 11 years, Jill Banfield at the University of California, Berkeley, has collected and studied the microbes that slime the floors of mines and convert iron to acid, a common source of ...

Two leading sequencing techniques are no longer at odds, thanks to an international effort led by scientists at University of California San Diego. In a study published July 27, 2023 in Nature ...

With little fanfare, the much-debated sequencing method known as whole-genome shotgun (WGS) has become a conventional way to sequence genomes. Two studies out this month help to confirm its importance ...

Two key sequencing techniques are no longer at odds, thanks to an international effort led by scientists at University of California (UC) San Diego. The researchers have developed a reference database ...

Shotgun sequencing of airborne eDNA provides insights into biodiversity, genetic diversity and pathogens. Researchers at the University of Florida’s Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience (FL, USA) ...

In a recent study published in Nature Microbiology, researchers used shotgun sequencing to extract human reads from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in fecal samples of 343 Japanese individuals comprising ...
