Transcriptomics A foundation model for transcription in all known cell types A new foundation model has been trained that predicts transcriptional activity in all known cell types!
Multi-Omics Multi-omics and drug therapeutic development: A match made in heaven The drug therapeutic landscape expands almost daily. Pairing them with multi-omics is a no brainer!
Chromatin The discovery of sex chromosomes was just as controversial as everything else in genetics Nettie Stevens, a former school teacher turned geneticist, discovered sex chromosomes in 1905. Here's her story:
Paid-members only Conferenceomics Everything Omicly that happened at the 2025 JP Morgan Healthcare Conference
Evolution Listen up! Fish gills are more important than you might think Your ears evolved from fish gills!
Transcriptomics If you thought enhancers and promoters were easy, think again! And now for something (not so) straightforward: Enhancers and Promoters
Genetics The weird color patterns of corn kernels led to a major genetic discovery in 1950 While everyone else was distracted by the structure of DNA, Barbara McClintock was discovering a little thing called the transposable element.
Why new memories don't overwrite old ones (in mice, and hopefully humans, too) Keeping things separated: How our brains prevent erasing old memories
Epigenomics Epigenetics and transcription are so intertwined it's hard to tell them apart A molecular mystery: Is it epigenetics or is it transcription? Yes.
Genetics It took 35 years for the first human Mendelian disease to be described Mendel first described his laws of genetic inheritance in 1865. They were promptly ignored for 35 years.
Molecular Biology Radiation's got nothing on these bacteria! Extremophiles are giving us new tools to help combat contamination of pharmaceuticals and make better vaccines.
Epigenetics lncRNAs and their role in epigenetics Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs): Epigenetics' latest layer of complexity!
Proteins How DNA codes for amino acids wasn't cracked until 1966 The structure of the DNA double-helix was published in 1953, but it took another 13 years to actually crack the genetic code.
Genomics Science has figured out why Garfield is orange Thanks to some genetic sleuthing, we now understand why orange cats are orange.
Epigenetics Epigenetics is mostly about access Epigenetics and Genome Topology: What are DNA methylation and histone modifications actually doing?
DNA The most basic rule of DNA was first described in 1950 A and T, and G and C are present in the same amounts in DNA. It’s the most basic rule of DNA. It’s also called Chargaff’s Rule.
