Genomic Sequencing

After 13 years, Illumina's 'little sequencer that could' has been replaced by a bigger, faster sibling

Bacteria are better at math than I am

Large Language Models have gotten all the AI buzz lately, but did you know that bacterial neural networks can solve computational problems now?

Transcriptomics

Transcriptomes are sometimes more useful than 'whole genomes'

Transcriptomes: under-appreciated, underutilized, and sometimes more useful than WGS.

DNA

Linus Pauling and his DNA triple helix

Linus Pauling proposed a triple helix as the structure of DNA in February 1953. Here's why he got it so wrong.
