Artificial Intelligence AI takes on virus evolution AI to the rescue: using protein structural similarities to track virus evolution.
Transcriptomics Applications of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics Single cell and spatial transcriptomics: Let's explore some applications!
Historical Paper Review Fred Sanger didn't get his first Nobel for DNA sequencing Fred Sanger received a Nobel Prize for his work with Insulin. As the father of DNA sequencing, this surely was for insulin's nucleic acid sequence? It wasn't.
Artificial Intelligence A USB drive? Nah, an epigenetic drive! DNA data storage is coming for all of your bits (but now with an epigenetic spin)!
Transcriptomics Put on your dive gear: we're going deep on single-cell and spatial transcriptomics methods! A not-so-deep dive into Single Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics
Historical Paper Review Linus Pauling molecularly characterized the first Mendelian Disease: Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle Cell Anemia was the first inherited disease to be molecularly characterized. It was done in 1949 using a revolutionary new method: electrophoresis.
Longevity Cutting calories extends life, but not for the reasons you might think Would you cut 40% of your caloric intake if it meant you'd live 40% longer?
Paid-members only Molecular Testing At-home testing companies were put on notice with FDA's most recent warning letter to Molecular Testing Labs
DNA The most beautiful experiment in biology Watson and Crick solved the structure of DNA and everyone lived happily ever after, right? Wrong. That was just the opening argument.
Transcriptomics Single-cell and Spatial Transcriptomics: All the cool kids are doing it Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics: What you need to know!
Complex genetic traits are getting taken to new heights The genetics of height gets the whole genome treatment
RNA Don't let highly expressed transcripts get the best of your RNA-seq dataset Whole transcriptome sequencing AKA RNA-seq: The good, the bad, the dynamic range?
DNA Solving the structure of the DNA double-helix took a village History is written by victors, and that statement couldn't be more true than it is in the case of Watson and Crick's 'discovery' of the DNA double helix.
Paid-members only Genomic Sequencing After 13 years, Illumina's 'little sequencer that could' has been replaced by a bigger, faster sibling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.
