Foxp3 protein governs regulatory T cell genome structure

Drug Target Review

The instructions to form a cell are encoded in DNA strands, wrapped in proteins and RNA, and wound together into a 3D structure called chromatin. Another finding was that regulatory T cells had distinct chromatin architecture features called DNA loops. Nature reviews immunology [Internet] 2008 July [2023 November 10]; 8:523-32.

Driving Toward Nanopores

Codon

And unlike traditional DNA sequencers, which parse genetic material by breaking it up into fragments and interpreting it chunk-by-chunk, a nanopore device unspools a long strand of DNA and reads it all at once. A scientist can isolate DNA and load up a flow cell in fifteen minutes. Nanopore devices work incredibly fast.

Fast Biology

Codon

Thanks to decades of progress in molecular sequencing technologies, it is simple to read out the order of nucleotides in a DNA sequence, for example, or to quantify messenger RNAs as they are made by a cell. In 2008, researchers at UC Berkeley devised an ingenious solution. But again, how do we know? This paper is one example.

Defense-Forward Biosecurity

Codon

Allison Berke makes the case for real-time DNA sequencing and AI tools to detect pathogens before they spread widely. Reading DNA The first step in detecting a novel pathogen is recognizing it as an anomaly amidst a noisy background of other material. After copying the DNA to form a big pool, each piece is sequenced.
