I recently returned, albeit part-time, to work in academia and I was offered the chance to teach. Many academics in scientific research never teach, other than perhaps one-to-one “teaching” of a new doctoral student. In the past, I have presented my work to other scientists and also given a few guest lectures to undergraduates; ma [...]

Applications & Bottlenecks In Next Generation Sequencing, Day 2
This word cloud shows the words that people used in the ice-breaking session, that I mentioned in my last post, to describe what they hoped to gain from the conference. On Day 2, our Keynote speaker was: Dr Anneke Seller, Oxford Genetics: Clinical utility; actionable #NGS diagnosis for patients & families http://t.co/0mmrSx1Dd5 #ngsmanchester — Paul [...]

Applications & Bottlenecks In Next Generation Sequencing
After months of preparation and the occasional sleepless night, November 5th arrived. It wasn’t only Bonfire Night, but also the beginning of a two-day conference, focusing on NGS in clinical genetics laboratories. Organised by my colleagues and friends from biotexcel and myself, it was held in the Manchester Conference Centre, in, naturally enough, Manchester, Regno Unito. In order to break [...]

Così, What Do Your Genes DO?
Genes are not passive. They are the target of molecular “dimmer switches”; typically (but not always) specific proteins, which dial up or turn down their activity. Most genes are translated into proteins, but discovering the true role of those proteins, in the life of a cell or a whole organism, is still one of the great challenges [...]

Alcuni dei nostri geni sono mancanti…ma quali?
One can think of genes in a number of ways: A livello del DNA – semplicemente come una sequenza lineare di nucleotidi, in un ordine fisso, nella “normale” Stato, or Again as a DNA molecule, ma ricordate che i geni in organismi, piuttosto che in pezzi di DNA in una provetta, are subject [...]

Che cosa potrebbe un piccolo topo ci insegnano umani anomalie congenite?
Mice are born with their eyes tightly shut, la loro apertura per la prima volta solo pochi giorni dopo. So when a mouse was noticed that was smaller than normal and had been born with it’s eyes open, ha attirato l'attenzione. Anomalie di questo tipo nascono spontaneamente in tutte le strutture di polizia, but sometimes they are not [...]
