X-Chromosome Inactivation: An Example of Epigenetic Gene Control
Epigenetics is an aspect of genetics which doesn’t always get as much attention as the study of DNA sequences. However, the function of DNA is [...]
Telomere Length Measurement via Q-FISH
DNA damage is occurring within our cells constantly. Like a boat that is springing new leaks all the time, repair must also be ongoing or [...]

Register below for the KromaTiD Webinar | Next Gen Cytogenetics | Finding Hidden Clues to Health and Disease Pioneering the field of modern cytogenetics, Dr. [...]
Exploration Via Fluorescent Molecules
Much of the biology-related news in recent decades has to do with scientific breakthroughs involving the very small. With the naked eye, we cannot see [...]
Transcriptomics Platform Comparison: Microarray vs RNA-Seq
On a cellular level, the behavior of biological systems is guided by nucleic acid molecules, such as DNA. Cells lacking a gene for a given [...]
Machine Learning Model Uses Gut Microbiome as a Predictor of CAR-T Patient Outcomes
CAR-T cells, or chimeric antigen receptor T cells, hold great potential for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Although several CAR-T therapies have received [...]
Most Comprehensive Genome Editing Research Database
Gene editing technologies like transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN), zinc finger nucleases (ZFN), CRISPR-Cas systems, base editors, and prime editors, among others, have become essential [...]
G-Banding, FISH and Modern FISH Derivatives
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) is a molecular genetics assay which is often employed alongside G-banding (Giemsa banding) for detection and characterization of genomic aberrations. [...]
Intracellular CAR Evolution
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) constructs are purpose-built transmembrane proteins artificially added to immune cells, principally T cells, to enhance their ability to find and fight [...]
