New work has shown that what was previously thought of as junk DNA may in fact play an important role in gene regulation.

Second-generation sequencing technologies are all dependent on the DNA amplfication to obtain good signal strength of each base addition.

Currently, Illumina is comfortably the largest gene-sequencing company. But how did Illumina manage to monopolise the gene-sequencing market?

A recent multi-centre study has shown the successful engineering of a strain of E. Coli Nissle 1917, designated SYNB1618 to treat Phenylketonuria (PKU).

Analysis of proteins is not simple. Unlike DNA, there is incredible diversity in the concentration and variety of proteins created by a cell at any given moment. In our Proteomics Playbook we outline ...

In our latest feature, we explore the future of gene editing and the challenges we must overcome to harness its full potential.

It is now possible to sequence an entire genome in just one day, due to the advent of next generation sequencing (NGS).

Two things that have defined the 21 st century are genomics and the internet. Through a combination of these has emerged a controversial type of ‘influencer’ on the internet – self-gene-editors or ...

The science of tardigrades has come a long way in the last couple of decades – and their genomes are key to unravelling the mystery.

New research has uncovered the function of red blood cells as immune sensors that detect and bind to cell-free DNA present during sepsis.

Spatial context matters in complex biology. From cancer prevention to cancer biology, and for both translational and clinical studies, multiomic spatial […] ...

A recent trend in large-scale association studies is transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS), which aggregates genomic information into functionally relevant units that map to genes and their ...
