High molecular weight DNA from plant tissues. DNA quantity and quality are important factors for success in long-read NGS, but achieving adequate levels of both can be challenging. Because it was ...

Using a short-read sequencing approach, scientists could sequence many short (50 to 3,000 bases) DNA fragments in parallel. This breakthrough was soon followed by long-read sequencing, which as the ...

Over the next decade, teams will digitize DNA of the 1.8 million named plant, animal, fungi and single-celled eukaryote species on the planet. By the end of 2022, the scientists plan on sequencing ...

Scientists explore how single-cell RNA sequencing transforms plant biology, ... such as the Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation Kit, the BD Rhapsody system, and Illumina sequencing technologies.

In an advance for agriculture, a new study reveals how wheat plants actively influence the microbial communities living on ...

Evolutionary anthropologist Ron Pinhasi of the University of Vienna and his colleagues found ancient mammalian and plant DNA preserved within the layers of stalagmites that were deposited between ...

Ancient DNA sequencing could be used with other techniques for analyzing plant material to paint a fuller picture of the past, says Mads Bakken Thastrup, an archaeobotanist at Denmark's Moesgaard ...

In addition, the team showed that genes with a sequence similarity to N4-cytosine methyltransferases, the enzymes that catalyze 4mC methylation in bacteria, were expressed in the same window of ...
