In 2005, two landmark papers describing novel cycle-array sequencing methods ushered in a new era in genetics. Known at the time as next-generation sequencing (NGS), these methods are now more ...

In the early 1990s, my colleagues and I at Stanford University began tinkering with an interesting weed, the small flowering mustard plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. We set out to study genes involved in ...

The research community's rapid acceptance of microarrays notwithstanding, technical challenges remain. Biochip developers continue to grapple with these issues while upgrading their offerings and ...
