The DNA used for the long read came from a human. But the scientists hope the work will make it quicker and easier to sequence genetic information because, currently, DNA has to be chopped up into ...

DNA sequencing is a laboratory method used to determine the sequence of a DNA molecule. The method was developed by Frederick Sanger in 1975, who was later awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in ...

And in every one of the 100 trillion cells, the sequence ... a lot of DNA within the nucleus -- about six feet if you could unravel it and stretch it out end to end. To fit such a long molecule ...
