Bayesian statistics has emerged as a powerful methodology for making decisions from data in the applied sciences. Bayesian brings a new way of thinking to statistics, in how it deals with probability, uncertainty and drawing inferences from an analysis.

The gene therapy landscape is dynamic and constantly shifting. In this article, we will review major advances in disease modification for illnesses that presently still lack effective treatments, as well as some challenges and approaches to overcome them.

Scientists have demonstrated the potential for using intratumoral microdevices (IMDs) to test various cancer drugs on the tumor before implementing systemic treatment. The approach could offer a hope in tackling hard-to-treat gliomas.

From RNAi to CRISPR, there are several methods that researchers can use to manipulate gene function. This article explores how orthogonal validation – the synergistic use of different methods – makes genetic perturbation studies more robust.

Capillary electrophoresis is a powerful separation and analysis technique that offers quick and efficient results. In this article, we explore how it works, variations on the technique and their applications.

In this article, we consider various platforms to modulate gene expression and the potential of CRISPR-Cas systems to understand and treat diseases, from cancers and congenital disorders to overcoming the growing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance.

Scientists have demonstrated the specific role that certain gut microbe species play in carbohydrate metabolism, suggesting the potential for insulin-sensitive gut bacteria to serve as a treatment for individuals with Type 2 diabetes.

Professors Jillian Banfield and Jennifer Doudna are embarking on an adventurous $70 million project to combat methane emissions by genetically editing microbes. Technology Networks interviewed the research team to learn more about the "audacious" project.

As agriculture adapts to our changing climate, new practices should unlock the benefits that exist in nature for biological crop protection.

Predatory conferences are the ramshackle distant cousin of your regular scientific event, a Fyre Festival of science (without the involvement of Ja Rule). It is getting harder to separate fake conferences from real ones. Given this deluge of dodgy science, we have created a guide to spotting and avoiding predatory conferences.
