Disrupting ChIP Assay Technology with New Advancements From chromatin extraction to elution of sequencing-ready DNA, bead-based ChIP assays can take up to 5 days to complete. This can be done in as little as 5 hours using a filter-based system with it’s optimally oriented proteins and improved molecular mixing. Read Full Article Here

Genetically altering protein in colon cancer cells may enhance efficacy of chemotherapy   Colorectal cancer outcomes may improve by genetically altering an immune-regulatory protein in cancer cells, making the cells more vulnerable to chemotherapy. That's according to new Mayo Clinic research.         New study provides unprecedented insights into retina's genetic code   Australian scientists have led the development of the world's most detailed gene map of the human retina, providing new insights which will help future research to prevent and treat blindness.

Remodeling unhealthful gut microbiomes with the help of synthetic peptides   You are what you eat -; right down to the microbiome living in your gut. Diet can affect which microbes are in the intestinal tract, and research has shown that harmful gut microbiome changes can lead to illnesses such as heart disease, obesity and cancer.       Blood sugar levels linked to DNA damage and cancer in diabetics   Scientists have made an important discovery that may explain why people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are at an increased risk for developing some forms of cancer. The findings could solve a medical mystery that scientists have been puzzling over for years: why diabetics show higher rates of some cancers.       "Australian" genetic mutation provides clues to Alzheimer’s mechanism   In an astonishing new breakthrough in Alzheimer’s research, the molecular basis of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and age-linked AD has been identified by looking at one type of genetic mutation.       Infants with genetic epilepsy show better response to treatment with ketogenic diet   Infants and young children with epilepsy due to a confirmed genetic abnormality had a better response to treatment with ketogenic diet compared to patients with other types of epilepsy, according to a review of 10-year experience at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Results were published in Scientific Reports.
