14 October, 2024

Takara Bio Europe's Shasta Single-Cell System is a cutting-edge, high-throughput NGS solution that enables novel biomarker discovery in oncology research.


Understanding the microbiome of the foods we eat

25 September, 2024

Researchers have developed a 'food microbiome' database by sequencing the metagenomes of over 2500 different foods.


Genetic tracing supports COVID's animal origins

23 September, 2024

Researchers have come up with a shortlist of the wildlife species present at the Wuhan wet market that were the most likely intermediate hosts for SARS-CoV-2 before its jump to humans.


Your grandparents' education affects your biological age

10 September, 2024

Researchers have found a statistically significant association between grandparents' education level and their grandchildren's epigenetic-based 'real' age.


Mitochondria fling DNA into our brain cells; may cause harm

04 September, 2024

Mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the nucleus, where the DNA becomes integrated into the cells' chromosomes. These insertions may be causing harm.


AdipoGen B-Xpander protein

02 September, 2024

AdipoGen's B-Xpander protein is designed to improve current protocols for B cell stimulation by mimicking the natural interaction between CD40L and CD40 molecules on B cells.


Gene expression linked to severity of respiratory viral infections

30 August, 2024

Highly elevated expression levels of a gene called OLAH are strongly associated with severe respiratory viral infections, researchers have found.


BRCA1 gene mutation may increase risk of impaired fertility

28 August, 2024

People with a BRCA1 gene mutation, which increases breast and ovarian cancer risk, are also at increased risk of impaired fertility, according to new research.


Elite controllers could hold the key to treating HIV

27 August, 2024

Equipped with MGI's advanced sequencing tools and technologies, South African researchers are inching closer to finding the answer to the natural control of HIV infection.


Genetic signatures of domestication found in pigs and chickens

20 August, 2024

As wild boars and red junglefowl gave rise to common pigs and chickens, these animals' genes evolved to express themselves differently.


CRISPR used to reduce hepatitis B virus levels

14 August, 2024

Researchers have programmed CRISPR-Cas13b gene-editing technology to target the RNA of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) in order to curb the virus's replication.


'Gene misbehaviour' surprisingly common in healthy people

08 August, 2024

It turns out that gene misbehaviour — where genes are active when they were expected to be switched off — is a surprisingly common phenomenon in the healthy human population.


SeekRNA offers a new pathway for accurate gene editing

29 July, 2024

Scientists have developed a gene-editing tool that is claimed to have greater accuracy and flexibility than the industry standard, CRISPR.


Over 5000 high-risk cancer gene variants identified

25 July, 2024

UK researchers assessed the health impact of all possible genetic changes in the so-called 'tumour protection' gene, finding that over 5000 of these possible changes are pathogenic.


Small molecule could help treat Angelman syndrome

24 July, 2024

Angelman syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterised by poor muscle control, limited speech, epilepsy and intellectual disabilities.
