RNA-Seq: Basics, Applications and Protocol

RNA-seq (RNA-sequencing) is a technique that can examine the quantity and sequences of RNA in a sample using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Here, we look at why RNA-seq is useful, how the technique works, a basic protocol that is commonly used today and challenges that remain.

Next-Generation Sequencing – News and Features

First Genome Sequence of a Snakefly Reveals Its Evolutionary History

A distinctive-looking insect, the snakefly has remained fairly unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs. Its genome has now been sequenced, revealing its evolutionary history.

Immune Cell Enzyme Links the Body and Brain During Stress

A collaboration of scientists provide new evidence that a specific immune cell enzyme is increased in stressed mice, and in patients with major depressive disorder.

Genomic Vigilance: The Key To Pandemic-Proofing Our Future

Neil Ward explores how genomic sequencing can help to strengthen global surveillance of AMR, protect existing antimicrobial therapies and safeguard the health of communities worldwide.

Using Stem Cells To Enhance Cancer Immunotherapy Without Genetic Modification

A joint research team has used stem cells to generate human immune cells for application in cancer immunotherapy. This breakthrough platform is expected to significantly enhance cancer-targeting efficacy.

Genetic and Cellular Changes Pinpointed in Placenta Accreta

A new study may change the way clinicians and scientists understand, diagnose and treat placenta accreta spectrum disorder, a serious condition in which the placenta fails to separate from the uterus at birth.

Rising Sea Levels Could Mean More Methane Emitted From Wetlands

As sea levels rise due to global warming, ecosystems are being altered. Scientists believed that the tidal wetlands found in estuaries might produce less methane. However, researchers indicate that these assumptions aren’t always true.
