SNP Array, A Powerful Tool for Diagnosis and Agrigenomics Research
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are a kind of DNA polymorphisms caused by single-nucleotide variants in both coding and non-coding regions, which are the most common and smallest variants. There are more than 3 million SNPs in the human genome with an average of 1 in 500-1000 base pairs. SNP microarrays are capable of detecting a large number of subtle DNA alterations and/or abnormal ...

Overview of Metatranscriptomic Sequencing: Principles, Workflow, and Applications
What is metatranscriptomic sequencing? Metatranscriptomic sequencing provides direct access to culturable and non-culturable microbial transcriptome information by large-scale, high-throughput sequencing of transcripts from all microbial communities in specific environmental samples. Metatranscriptomic sequencing offers an opportunity to randomly sequence mRNAs as a unit for understanding the ...

The Power of Digital Pathology: Why Labs Everywhere Should Make the Switch
Pathology as it is practiced today in labs around the world is not all that different from the pathology of the 19th century. The microscope has changed relatively little since then, and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained slides remain the bread and butter of the pathologist. Yet it is not for lack of technological development; in recent years, digital pathology whole slide scanners, digital ...

Comparison Between Illumina and Nanopore Sequencing Technologies
What is Illumina Sequencing? Illumina sequencing is a second-generation sequencing technology that has become a powerful tool for genomics research. The method uses reversible dye terminator technology to detect the sequence of a DNA molecule. The process begins by fragmenting the DNA sample into short fragments, typically 100-150 base pairs (bp) in length. These fragments are then ligated to a ...
