The Festival of Genomics & Biodata 2025
Oct 15, 2024 · Bigger and better than ever before, The Festival of Genomics & Biodata is returning to London in January 2025! It’s hard to believe that the first Festival was 10 years ago, and it’s come a remarkably long way since then.
What is multiplex PCR? - Front Line Genomics
Jul 26, 2021 · The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a well-established amplification technique that is widely used to rapidly make millions of copies of a specific DNA sample. It was developed by Kary Mullis in the 1980’s and is based on the ability of DNA polymerase to synthesize a new strand of complementary DNA from a template strand.
AI Models For Protein Structure Prediction
Aug 14, 2024 · Understanding how amino acid sequences translate into complex, three-dimensional structures is a problem that has been puzzling scientists for decades 1.Unlocking this mystery is key to uncovering information about how specific structures allow proteins to carry out specialised functions, opening new frontiers in synthetic biology and personalised medicine.
Unlocking the future: where is gene editing going next?
Jun 6, 2023 · In our latest feature, we explore the future of gene editing and the challenges we must overcome to harness its full potential.
Sample Preparation for NGS – A Comprehensive Guide
Aug 21, 2024 · Common challenges in sample preparation. Challenge 1: Many samples are extracted from a limited number of cells – or even a single cell.These don’t provide enough genetic material alone and so need to undergo PCR. However, this amplification step is prone to introducing bias to the sample.

How-to: perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS)
Sep 10, 2024 · Genome-wide association studies are commonly used in the genomics world to identify variants associated with a trait or disease.During a GWAS, researchers will identify areas of the genome that show a strong signal linked to the trait in question; that is, in the discovery cohort, areas or specific markers in which variation is more common than in the controls.
The Latest Developments in Sequencing Technologies
Feb 6, 2024 · Quantum-Si’s Platinum single-molecule protein sequencing platform works on digested individual peptides that are immobilized in wells. Fluorescently labelled N-terminal amino acid (NAA) recognizers then bind the individual peptides, and the resulting unique fluorescence signal is recorded onto a chip.
