High Throughput Nucleic Acid Purification Simplified

The gold standard in nucleic acid isolation has shifted, labs are demanding purity and flexibility for high throughput nucleic acid purification and often need to complete difficult downstream analyses, for example with Next Gen Sequencing. Bats and Nans from the Field Support Automation team at Promega discuss how high throughput nucleic acid isolation and purification can be simplified for any application.

	Walnut consumption could change gene expression in pathologically-confirmed breast cancers New research from Marshall University links walnut consumption as a contributing factor that could suppress growth and survival of breast cancers.

	Study highlights need to diversify population-level genetic data for better disease prediction Polygenic scores can predict a person's risk for conditions like coronary artery disease, breast cancer, and type 2 diabetes (T2D) with great accuracy, even in patients who lack common warning signs. This new genome analysis tool holds promise for physicians, who may be able to intervene earlier to help prevent common disease for at-risk individuals.
