The Future is Bright for Single-Cell Proteomics: A Report from HUPO 2018

In recent years the genomes, transcriptomes, and epigenomes of multicellular organisms have been captured in a number of high profile organism-wide atlases. Can proteomics measure up to next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies when it comes to single cell analysis? Here are the highlights from the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) World Congress summarizing the latest developments in the field of single cell biology.

Machine Learning Reveals Gene Changes in the Developing Brain

Unlike most cells in the rest of our body, the DNA (the genome) in each of our brain cells varies from cell to cell, caused by somatic changes. But much remains unknown, including when these changes arise, their size and locations, and whether they are random or regulated. Now, researchers have developed new techniques allowing the detection of CNVs smaller than one million base pairs.

The Gene Code of Growing Limbs

When a fetus develops, everything must be timed to perfection: failures in timing can result in congenital deformities, disabilities, and even death. The big question that developmental biologists have been asking for a long time is this: what sets the pace and the order of developmental events?
