It’s mindboggling to think that our universe was born around 13.8 billion years ago and our planet formed around 4.56 billion years ago.(1) Many millions of years later, the first forms of life evolved. All life as we know it today, uses three different types of biological molecule to serve key functions in the cell:… Read article →
Sometimes our lives get so busy that we don’t always appreciate the little things, such as enjoying a hot cup of tea on a sunny afternoon, or receiving a kind “thank you´´ from a colleague. It’s the same in research: there are multiple examples where the little things that matter the most get overlooked. miRNA… Read article →
Digital NGS using Unique Molecular Indices (UMIs) is a game-changer in RNA-seq, miRNA-seq and DNA-seq, enabling accurate quantification by overcoming PCR bias. In May, we presented the details of this technology for gene expression, microRNA analysis and mutation detection as part of our NGS Week webinar series, and again in July as part of the Summer of… Read article →
A dementia diagnosis can be devastating – not only for the person with the disease, but also for their loved ones. For people who have never experienced dementia, forgetfulness might be interpreted as an endearing sign of seniority, but after a certain stage at which a person may not remember familiar people, their surroundings, or even… Read article →
Metabolic syndrome and Type II diabetes (T2D) are major diseases with a wide impact; metabolic syndrome increased in prevalence in the United States from the period of 1988–1994 to the period of 2007–2012 by greater than 35% (1), while diabetes was the 7th leading cause of death in the US in 2013. 90–95% of all… Read article →
