This is tardigrade hunting, the first small step in a gargantuan, wildly ambitious scientific undertaking: to sequence the genomes of all life on Earth.
In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...
In 1995, with the Human Genome Project underway, sequencing was all the rage. Scientists working on the project cloned short fragments of the whole genome and used Sanger sequencing to determine the ...
