This Week's Headlines 1) Will nanopores enable single molecule protein sequencers? 2) Proteoforms make proteomics infinitely more complicated than genomics 3) Horseshoe crab blood to the rescue! Here's what you missed
Molecular Biology In silico identification of a side effect free weight loss peptide The quest to find better tolerated weight loss drugs is well on its way and computational drug discovery has already identified at least one promising candidate!
Proteomics The proteome is so hot right now The Proteome: we can’t live without it, but, what actually is it?
Epigenetics Hi-C showed us that the genome has topology While chromosomes are usually depicted as X's, they actually spend most of their time jumbled up like a giant ball of yarn.

Genomics Just because it's in your genes, doesn't mean it's your fate One thing we constantly battle in genomics is, “What does it all mean?”
Epigenetics The formulation of the histone code forever changed our view of the genome Histones were once thought to just be dumb structural proteins that held chromatin together; now we know that the ‘histone code’ is a major regulator of gene expression.

Population Genetics When a "rare variant" isn't actually rare A lack of genetic database diversity highlights red herrings in disease diagnosis
Genetics Genetic discrimination is still alive and well in the US Did you know that before 2008, insurers could discriminate against you based on your genetic risk for disease?
Vaccines mRNA vaccines almost didn't happen It is estimated that COVID-19 vaccination has prevented over 20 million deaths worldwide. We can thank the dogged perseverance of a browbeaten scientist for that.
