Diagnostics Assay failures are common in the clinical lab, here are 5 of my favorites. Troubleshooting assay failures is a second full-time job in R&D. Here are my top 5 'favorite' root causes!
DNA The Lac Operon: Everyone's heard of it, but do you know how it was discovered? 'If gene expression determines the function of a cell, it must be important to control that process?' Yes, very! Let me tell you about the PaJaMo experiment.

Paid-members only Omics One of the most underappreciated techniques in Omics is Hi-C. That needs to change
RNA Bridge RNAs are here to take CRISPR's crown Move over CRISPR, bridge RNAs are here to make the precision genome edits that you can't.
Fecal Matters The messiest part of Omics? Dealing with all the different sample types The good, the bad, the...uhhh: Everything you ever wanted to know about all the different Omics sample types!
High-Throughput Sequencing In 2009, high throughput sequencing gave us our first glimpse of the 3-D organization of the DNA in our nuclei While chromosomes are usually depicted as X's, they actually spend most of their time jumbled up like a giant ball of yarn.
