Genomics & DNA Analysis

Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) has found use in a variety of investigations researching the toxicity and environmental impact of nanoparticles. Here we discuss various publications in which NTA has been used to measure particle size and concentration of nanomaterials in waste water.

As the Olympics gets firmly underway, we look at what’s next in the battle of “medals versus morals”

The convergence of forensic and metabolomic analysis – and its potential for diagnostics

Advances in genomics are thrilling, but a tumor is more than a bundle of genetic information.

Tom Metz, Integrative Omics Scientist and Metabolomics Technical Lead at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Washington State, USA), selects six papers that exemplify the power of multi-omics.

Cancer is incredibly complex, posing enormous challenges beyond the biological field. Taking a multi-omic approach can help us make sense of this diverse set of diseases – and, ultimately, allow us to better understand ourselves as human beings.

Researchers at the Dresden University of Technology can now determine the sex of a chicken before it hatches – in under a minute.
