Diagnostics

Metagenomics hits the clinic to diagnose CNS infections

Whole genome metagenomics is better than the standard of care in detecting the causal bugs of CNS infections

Transcriptomics

Transcriptomics is better with long-reads

Spoiler Alert: The holy grail of transcriptomics is long-reads.

Molecular Biology

Molecular Biology is the offspring of biochemistry and genetics

The field of molecular biology was born in 1941 through the marriage of genetics and biochemistry.
