Ocean plastics have been identified as a serious global health issue. Accumulating data on marine plastics, however, is giving us a better appreciation of the challenges and opportunities that exist for harnessing marine microbes capable of biodegrading plastics to help tackle the marine plastic problem.

In this opinion article, Michael S Kinch seeks to summarize key concerns and opportunities facing COVID-19 vaccines as we look towards the future.

Liquid chromatography (LC) systems are the backbone of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical laboratories. However, with increasingly complex samples and efficiency pressures, scientists are seeking more confidence in their results. Can innovative two-dimensional LC (2D-LC) systems provide the answer?

A COVID-19 multiomics data dashboard was generated by authors of a paper recently published in Cell Systems. Ian Miller, research data scientist at the Coon Laboratory, University of Wisconsin-Madison, was a key developer of the platform and walked Technology Networks through some key features of each type of analysis.

In this article, we explore multiomic approaches to COVID-19 research and explore some of the computational and statistical tools being developed to support multiomic analyses.

In a new study published in Cell Metabolism, scientists share their discovery of a novel, non-invasive biomarker test that can be utilized to measure and track the performance of senolytic drugs.

New scientific approaches such as metabolomics and proteomics are shedding light on the causes of AMD and other eye diseases. In this article, we explore how these powerful modern methods are revealing novel biomarkers that are leading to the development of new diagnostic, monitoring and predictive tools, as well as potential treatment options.

In the UK, Genomics England is pioneering a "lasting legacy" for patients by introducing genomic sequencing into the wider healthcare system. Technology Networks interviewed Clinical Director Dr Richard Scott, to find out more.

Vaccines have become the golden ticket that can transport us back to a time when routine activities, such as attending school or taking vacations, didn’t seem fraught with danger. What’s the best way to go about re-establishing these activities? One idea that’s getting discussed seriously is giving those who have been immunized a vaccination passport.

Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) polymerase is an intermediary enzyme responsible for processing gene sequences into RNA-based genetic material that can be utilized in protein synthesis. In this article, we define RNA polymerase and further explore its various functions throughout cell biology.
