As a part of our microbiome research interview series, we spoke with Ms. Celia Díez López, a Ph.D. candidate from the Department of Genetic Identification, Erasmus Medical Centre Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Ms. Díez López is conducting research to identify novel uses of the human microbiome and other non-human components in forensic genetics. How did you… Read article →
Hematology team member and researcher, Dr. Fabienne Desmots-Loyer at CHU – Hospital Pontchaillou, Rennes, France was performing RNA-seq of paired patient follicular lymphoma FFPE tumor samples in early 2019 for an important study she was assigned. Using the lab’s standard FFPE RNA isolation procedure, it was only possible to extract a few nanograms of mRNA… Read article →
Summer is here in the northern hemisphere and tick season is upon us. While for many, this comes with no small amount of concern for tick-borne diseases, for Paula Lado tick season means opportunity. Her subjects are active again and her studies on ticks as vectors for infection turn to field work, approaching them where… Read article →
Whether it’s an alien concept or a familiar technology, researchers often find themselves asking these questions about digital PCR – What is it? When and why to use it? How does it compare to qPCR? We have compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions, from principle to workflow and applications. What… Read article →
The quality of the NGS library is a critical factor for the success of the sequencing run, affecting both the sequence validity and the number of reads. Quality control procedures of library preparation ensure that only samples of good quality are processed and sequenced to generate reads of the highest quality that can be confidently… Read article →
