In this episode of TSE explores we will be speaking to Dr Julia Steinberg.

Chimpanzees and bonobos may be very close to us humans on the tree of life, but one of our differences is the way we store fat. That difference comes down to types of fat cells and our DNA.

Senior group leader Simon Boulton from the Francis Crick Institute talks to Adam Blain, a lawyer and writer living with brain cancer, about how DNA damage plays a role in cancer.

Agilent sample quality metrics are available for most RNA and DNA samples used in NGS, enabling you to know the concentration, size and integrity of your nucleic acid fragments.

While searching for a kidney donor, Karen Keegan stumbled upon a mystery. After undergoing genetic testing, it turned out that some of her cells had a completely different set of genes from the others. And this second set of genes belonged to her twin sister— who had never been born. How did this happen? Kayla Mandel Sheets explores the condition known as chimerism.

We're generally taught that chromosomes determine an animal's sex, but it is way more nuanced than that.

Some experts feared we were in for a "twindemic" during the 2020-2021 flu season. That didn't happen, which might mean that there will be more people susceptible to getting sick this year.

This video explains how this works and features the Agilent Automated electrophoresis instrument portfolio, designed for ultralow to ultrahigh throughput needs.

No other placental mammal that we know of prefers one side of the body so consistently, not even our closest primate relatives. But being right-handed may have deep evolutionary roots in our lineage. And yet, being a leftie does seem to come with some unexpected advantages.

Centuries of interbreeding taught early pigeon fanciers that beak length was likely regulated by just a few heritable factors. Yet modern geneticists have failed to solve Darwin’s mystery by pinpointing the molecular machinery controlling short beaks—until now.
