Breakthroughs Contrary to popular belief, there are 21 amino acids and the 21st was discovered in 1976 You might have been told that there are 20 amino acids. That’s a lie.
Proteins Green Fluorescent Protein was first discovered in Jellyfish in 1960 In 1994, an obscure jellyfish protein was stuck into a worm. It has enlightened biology and medicine ever since.
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.
Diagnostics Parkinson's Disease gets a new risk factor A recent survey of 2,000 families with Parkinson’s Disease has turned up a new risk factor: a variant in RAB32
Paid-members only Omics One of the most underappreciated techniques in Omics is Hi-C. That needs to change
DNA The structure of the DNA double-helix was published in 1953, but it took another 13 years to actually crack the genetic code. The questions of how DNA is copied and codes for proteins remained for a while after the structure was confirmed.
Proteomics Resolving the proteome with single-cell and spatial proteomics. Single-cell and spatial proteomics: a more refined future.
Proteomics Sickle Cell Anemia was molecularly characterized in 1949 using a revolutionary new technique: electrophoresis Sickle Cell Anemia was the first inherited disease to be molecularly characterized. It was done in 1949 using a revolutionary new method: electrophoresis.
Proteomics Protein sequencing is the latest cutting edge technique in our proteomics toolkit Protein sequencing is the latest cutting edge technique in our proteomics toolkit. But when will it be ready for primetime?
Proteomics Mass Spec is leading the charge in bringing high-throughput proteomics to a lab near you Mass Spec: It's not just for chemistry nerds anymore.
Proteomics The Proteome: what it is and why protein structure is so important The Proteome: we can’t live without it, but, what actually is it?
