Providing a New Generation of cDNA Sequencing A powerful technique for this is nanopore technology, which allows researchers to sequence millions of whole transcripts end-to-end in single reads. This gives them a powerful base to tackle challenges in the areas of full-length transcript identification, isoform characterization and quantification. Learn More

New study identifies eight genetic variants associated with anorexia nervosa   A new large-scale genome-wide association study published in Nature Genetics, has identified eight genetic variants significantly associated with anorexia nervosa; and the research shows that the origins of this serious disorder appear to be both metabolic and psychiatric.       Living a healthy lifestyle may help offset genetic risk of dementia   Living a healthy lifestyle may help counteract a person’s genetic risk of dementia, according to new international research.       Molecular switches may control lifespan and healthspan separately, genetic discovery suggests   Aging research indicates that better healthspan--the quality of life as we age--may be more important than lifespan.       Research opens possibility of developing single-dose gene therapy for inherited arrhythmias   Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital report creating the first human tissue model of an inherited heart arrhythmia, replicating two patients' abnormal heart rhythms in a dish, and then suppressing the arrhythmia with gene therapy in a mouse model.       Novel insight into microRNA function can be crucial for the development of gene therapy   Scientists at the University of Eastern Finland and the University of Oxford have shown that small RNA molecules occurring naturally in cells, i.e. microRNAs, are also abundant in cell nuclei.       How genetic differences in Epstein-Barr virus strains alter the way it behaves   Researchers at the University of Sussex have identified how differences in the genetic sequence of the two main strains of the cancer-associated Epstein-Barr virus can alter the way the virus behaves when it infects white blood cells.
