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

In this feature, we look at some applications of ChatGPT that could revolutionise the way we view research and the caveats of the tech.

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

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

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

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has become the most established and widely used technique within single-cell analysis. Spatial transcriptomics is quickly following in the footsteps of scRNA-seq ...

Advances in protein sequencing enable deeper insights and facilitate applications such as biomarker discovery and personalised medicine.

Multiplex PCR is a technique whereby PCR is used to amplify several different DNA sequences simultaneously.

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

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

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

The idea that the experiences of our ancestors shape who we are today is not a novel one. In fact, throughout history, great thinkers from around the world have proposed theories and ideas to explain ...
