It is always inspiring to see what young scientists can achieve when given the opportunity to tackle real-world challenges. This year, we supported a student team Trashformers from Lund University as they were participating in the iGEM competition. Their project’s goal was to tackle the critical issue of textile waste, specifically focusing on recycling polyester.
Our last story ended in the middle of 2005. By then, we had spent a decade developing room-temperature stable DNA polymerases for a range of applications. In the second half of that year, we reached a turning point – we started blending and mixing to help scientists around the world reduce pipetting errors and save time.
Single-cell sequencing uncovers the hidden diversity between individual cells, transforming research from cancer to neuroscience — but it demands reagents that protect every precious molecule. Here is where our innovations come into play.
Let’s talk about epigenetics! In this post, we’ll break down how the gold standard method for studying DNA methylation - bisulfite sequencing - works, why it matters in fields like cancer research and developmental biology, and what makes it such a cornerstone in the study of the epigenome.
