Sex Affects Gene Expression in Mammals

Men are from Mars and women are from Venus, so the saying goes. The differences between the sexes have been explored across a variety of disciplines over many years: philosophy, literature and, of course, science. From a biological perspective, however, the effect that sex has on gene expression, particularly in autosomal (sex-linked) genes, has been a relatively unmapped area – until now.

5 Key Challenges in Proteomics, As Told by the Experts

The Evolution of Proteomics featured a series of interviews with experts in the field of proteomics research. We asked each of the experts what, in their opinion, are the greatest challenges currently existing in proteomics, and how can we look to overcome them?

In the “Nick” of Time: Researchers Identify a Surprising Behaviour of CRISPR Nucleases

In a recent academic collaboration, scientists discovered another surprising behavior of the Cas9 and Cpf1 enzymes – a behavior which may have implications when developing novel therapies with CRISPR. We spoke with Brett Robb, the Scientific Director for RNA and Genome Editing at New England Biolabs Inc, and Becky Fu (previously a graduate student at Stanford University and now a Postdoctoral fellow at UCSF) to learn more about their research.

DNA and RNA: Why It’s All About Integrity

In this interview, we spoke with Knut Wintergerst, PhD, General Manager of Biomolecular Systems and Solutions (BSS) and Diagnostics and Genomics Group (DGG) at Agilent to learn more about why DNA and RNA sample integrity is important to scientists and how it can be maintained and analyzed.

Researchers Use Cigarette Cropland to Grow Medical and Industrial Proteins

Scientists have successfully reared genetically engineered tobacco plants to produce medical and industrial proteins outdoors in the field.

Drop-seq Applied Successfully in Plant Cells for the First Time

An open-source RNA analysis platform, Drop-seq, has recently been applied successfully in plant cells for the first time. We spoke with Christine Shulse, PhD, from the DOE Joint Genome Institute to learn more about this innovative breakthrough and its potential applications.

Neurogenomics

Over the recent decades, science has witnessed the coupling of the neuroscience and genomics research fields to create a novel area known as neurogenomics. In this infographic, we explore how neurogenomics came to be, the methodologies commonly adopted in research studies and how it contributes to our understanding of neurological diseases.

Meet Josiah Zayner, the Biohacker Next Door

Josiah Zayner, PhD, is considered by many as fairly "unconventional" in his scientific practice as a biohacker. In this interview, we discuss the aims of a biohacker and some of his previous experiments, including injecting himself with CRISPR gene-editing technology in front of a live audience.
