The past two decades have witnessed extraordinary technological and computational advances in nucleic acid sequencing. Working with ancient DNA, Beth Shapiro has applied next-generation sequencing to look into genomes of the distant past, with the hope that they can help us to understand our future.

Take your sequencing to the next level with the recently released PromethION 2 devices. They enable flexible, high-yield sequencing, in a compact, accessible design.

Researchers at the University of Plymouth School of Biological and Marine Sciences are examining why fungi evolve psychedelic properties. Here, they explain the history of research into psychedelic compounds in nature.

The genetics behind cancer are both diverse and complex, with many abnormalities causing, contributing, or indicating the disease. Using nanopore sequencing, scientists can resolve variants and epigenetic modifications across the entire genome, target large panels or single genes, and detect known and novel full-length transcripts – for the most comprehensive insight into cancer genomes.

Engineered living materials promise to aid efforts in human health, energy and environmental remediation. Now they can be built big and customized with less effort.

Speaking at 'The Landscape of Cancer Research', Abbey Cutchin, Manager, Oncology Segment Marketing at 10x Genomics, presented her talk on cancer progression and therapeutic resistance.

Speaking at The Landscape of Cancer Research 2021, Dr. Eric Kmiec, founder and director of the Gene Editing Institute, presented his talk on CRISPR-directed gene editing for solid tumors.

Over millions of years, many fungi have become specialized for infecting insects and other arthropods, but this fungus can manipulate ants’ movements, forcing them to do something they’d never ordinarily do.

In less than 10 minutes, Professor Andrew Zydney covers: What are biopharmaceuticals? How do they differ from traditional small-molecule pharmaceuticals? How are they made? What factors might influence the high cost of biopharmaceuticals?

The evolution of our ability to speak is its own epic saga and it’s worth pausing to appreciate that. It’s taken several million years to get to this moment where we can tell you about how it took several million years for us to get here.
