Because the chemistry of DNA is so simple, the process of sequencing it is straightforward enough that anyone with a basic understanding of biology can probably understand the fundamentals.

“DNA sequencing could become very simple,” says Deckert, “like reading a barcode at the supermarket.” Journal article: Deckert, Volker and Bailo, Elena.

Researchers have found a simple way to eliminate almost all sequencing errors produced by a widely used portable DNA sequencer (Oxford Nanopore Technologies' MinION device).

Researchers have found a simple way to eliminate almost all sequencing errors produced by a widely used portable DNA sequencer, potentially enabling scientists working outside the lab to study and ...
