Frederick Sanger, the British biochemist and double Nobel Laureate whose research laid essential groundwork for the sequencing of amino acids and later DNA, has died at age 95. Dr. Sanger’s death was ...

We’ve chosen this project as one of the great engineering milestones of the recent past. Tell us which engineering project you think will have the biggest impact on human life in the next 30 years and ...

The falling cost of sequencing has created a new problem for research institutions--where to put all the data. At the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, 30 DNA sequencers generate a terabyte a day, ...

Scientists have developed a technique to rapidly and reliably detect genetic changes in malaria parasites in Ghana, using just a gaming laptop and portable MinION sequencer from Oxford Nanopore 1.

The Wellcome Sanger Institute has upgraded its power infrastructure, to better handle data from a bank of genome sequencers which are in use in the fight against Covid-19. A new set of 300 APC rack ...
