Genealogy databases aren't just for finding your relatives anymore

The killer app for consumer genetics literally is to catch killers. Here's why:

The 'Histone Code' fundamentally changed how we think about gene expression

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.

Autoimmunity

A new genetic cause for Inflammatory Bowel Disease has been discovered

Inflammatory diseases affect 5% of the population but we have a poor understanding of how to treat them. Multi-omic studies are changing that.

Multi-Omics

A trip down the Omic rabbit hole

What’s in an 'ome?' Basically everything.

Breakthroughs

mRNA vaccines almost weren't a thing

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.

Evolution

Have you ever wanted a superpower? Me too!

Some human populations have genes that would make even Poseidon jealous!

Metabolome

Metabolomics: Hype or Heroine?

How does the promise of metabolomics stack up against our current reality? It’s complicated.

DNA

The 2-D structure of tRNA was solved in 1965, its solver probably isn't someone you've heard of before

The next great mystery to solve after the discovery of the DNA double helix was to figure out how the nucleotide sequence coded for proteins.

Laboratory Developed Tests

Mice, Frogs, Rabbits, OH MY! The early days of pregnancy testing were wild.

For the better part of 40 years, pregnancy tests were done by injecting urine into animals and seeing what happened. No, seriously!

Metabolome

Make way for the METABOLOME ..ome ..ome.. ome!!!

What's the biggest Ome of them all?

Cancer

Coming to a dermatologist near you: The microscope will see you now.

We've heard a lot about liquid biopsies, but what if I told you non-invasive virtual ones are now a possibility?
