Recently, we gave a series of webinars covering the different challenges and possible solutions for getting reliable gene expression profiles, with a focus on RNA extraction and stabilization from challenging samples. During these webinars, the audience had a variety of interesting questions. We would like to share with you our answers to the top 9… Read article →
In today’s clinical and translational research, blood is one of most common biospecimens being used. Although the highest DNA yield and quality is achieved by purifying genomic DNA from freshly harvested material, regretfully most of our precious samples cannot be processed straight away. That´s why sample management is so crucial right from the very start…. Read article →
Browse through PubMed and perform a search with keywords like transcriptomics, proteomics, genomics, sequencing or amplification. Pick any paper answering questions in cancer research, neurobiology, stem cell biology, immunology or developmental biology. Are you amazed by how often you come across the term “single-cell”? Don’t be! The field of single-cell analysis has grown enormously in the recent years. Nature… Read article →
There’s a growing trend of irreproducible results in biomedical research. In a previous post, Kurchi Bhattacharya reported on recent studies finding that a surprising number of scientists could not only not reproduce the results of their colleagues, but many found their own results difficult to reproduce as well. Much of the reproducibility problem likely has… Read article →
For decades, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples have been collected and archived for long-term storage. They’re extremely valuable for carrying out research like mutation screening or pathogen detection. In general, deparaffinization of the FFPE tissue sections is achieved by manual xylene pretreatment, which dissolves the paraffin from the tissue, and a series of ethanol washes… Read article →
