Malaria unravelled: decoding the parasite’s gene expression control

Drug Target Review

Through phylogenetic analysis and microscopy techniques, they identified a nuclear-encoded apicoplast RNA polymerase σ subunit called ApSigma. The initial subject of my research carrier was RNA polymerase principal sigma factors in bacteria. The first identification was based on a bioinformatic analysis.

Can Global Genomic Surveillance Forecast the Next Pandemic?

PLOS: DNA Science

That’s thanks to accelerated genome sequencing technologies, expanded laboratory capabilities, and interacting infrastructure on a global level. As soon as the initial RNA genome sequence of the pathogen that would be named SARS-CoV-2 was published, CDC and other organizations began developing diagnostic tests.

Defense-Forward Biosecurity

Codon

When doctors sequenced the DNA and RNA found in Alice’s blood and synovial fluid—the liquid that surrounds and lubricates joints—they found abnormally low levels of genes encoding iron-storing proteins and high levels of epidermal growth factor receptor RNA. At least nine laboratories outside the U.S.

Tackling the Challenges of Limited Resources During a Pandemic

The Pharma Data

As laboratories around the world tackle the challenges of screening large numbers of samples for SARS-CoV-2, the managers of these labs have turned to the use of automation to address some key concerns. As there are fewer steps carried out by hand this reduces potential exposure for laboratory staff as well. In the examples below, we.
