DNA Chargaff’s Rule is the most basic rule of DNA A and T, and G and C are present in the same amounts in DNA. It’s the most basic rule of DNA. It’s also called Chargaff’s Rule.
Microbiomics Studying the microbiome is really just a lesson in ecology! Plants, animals, the soil, and even your toilet seat have a microbiome!
Microbiomics Featured Colorectal cancer has found a new best friend. Spoiler: It’s a bacteria from your mouth! Long-read sequencing can now help us figure out what makes the Fn bacteria found in CRC tumors tick.

Genomic Sequencing Commercial industrial engineering is the savior of high-throughput genomics We ‘completed’ the human genome in 2003, thanks mostly to commercial industrial engineering.
Genetics Genetic code expansion and how we get to designer proteins Genetic code expansion might be the coolest thing in Omics that you've never heard of.
Evolution Human fetal brain organoids: a controversial new platform A glimpse into the developing brain and a platform for future discovery
Microbiomics Featured Tumor immune microenvironments and how we can exploit them to fight cancer Tumors are bad. Understanding their microenvironment is key in our effort to amp up the immune system to fight them!

Epigenomics Epigenome editors are coming for cholesterol (and other diseases)! Ever heard of an ‘epigenome editor?’ Well, buckle up, because they could be the source of a long-term cure for high cholesterol!
Proteomics PROTACs and LYTACs: How therapeutics can take advantage of proteomic garbage men Cells are biological marvels, but even they need help taking out the trash sometimes.
DNA One of the most important papers in the history of genetics was basically ignored when it was published in 1944 When Oswald Avery, Colin Macleod and Maclyn McCarty published their paper in 1944 showing unequivocally that DNA was the genetic material, it wasn’t very well received.
