Scientists claim to have found the "missing link" in the process that leads to an ice age on Earth. Melting icebergs in the Antarctic are the key, triggering a series of chain reactions that plunges Earth into a prolonged period of cold temperatures.

Using computer simulations built on reasonable assumptions and conducted under careful control, computational bioscientists can mimic real biological conditions. Starting with the original founding population (ancient phase), they can evolve the population over several thousand generations to develop an intermediate phase, and then evolve that generation another several thousand generations to develop a derived phase.

Researchers have created a new computational technique to accurately differentiate between single-cell RNA-sequencing data from cancer cells and the variety of normal cells found within tumor samples.

A team of scientists has broken a new record for sequencing the largest animal genome to date – the Australian lungfish, one of the few living relatives of the first land vertebrates.

The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and UW Health have developed a tool that incorporates a person’s age and socioeconomic status to prioritize vaccine distribution among people who otherwise share similar risks due to their jobs.

A new Northwestern University-led study is unfolding the mystery of how RNA molecules fold themselves to fit inside cells and perform specific functions.

At Technology Networks we understand the importance of time. That's why we've launched Teach Me in 10 a video series that challenges scientists to present and summarize their research area, a scientific concept, or technology in ten minutes or less.

On December 31, 2019, the first cases of a novel coronavirus were identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. Here, we curate a collection of news and content related to what has become the COVID-19 pandemic.

Scientists have used supercomputers to discover new frontiers in science and to invent new technologies to improve the human condition. Now, researchers are using supercomputing resources to address one of society’s biggest challenges – the risks of an unregulated drug market.

Vaccination is the weapon that will ultimately defeat this pandemic, but getting there will take much time and effort. Until then there will still be a need for other measures to control the virus, including rapid diagnostic testing and screening.

In this article, we bring together resources from the across the site on gas chromatography, how it works, its pairing with downstream techniques and what its applications are.

Few diagnostics labs were prepared for the challenges the SARS-CoV-2 virus would present, fortunately though, these unprecedented circumstances have brought about lasting positive differences.
