Gain Flexibility in Virology Research with a Pipetting Robot

Learn how researchers in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Otago, New Zealand, are able to expand their capabilities in understanding the mechanisms and clinical consequences of drug-resistant viruses, as well as performing antiviral drug discovery, using a pipetting robot.

			Gene expression may be a decisive factor for controlling possible comorbidities A study led by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, in which the Universitat de València participates, concludes that the specific characteristics of each patient, such as gene expression, may be a decisive factor in the development of clinical strategies aimed at addressing and controlling possible comorbidities.

			Researchers examine bat genome assemblies to find solution for COVID-19 While questions remain about the origin of COVID-19, many scientists now believe the virus spread to humans from bats. Two Texas Tech University researchers are now taking a closer look at whether bats also could offer a solution to the pandemic.

			New insights on DNA replication can help develop novel cancer treatments A study by the Centre for Chromosome Biology at NUI Galway, Ireland, in partnership with the University of Zurich, has uncovered new insights into how the replication of DNA occurs which can be applied to help develop novel cancer treatments.

	Novel fungal compound can turn on p53 gene in cancer cells Cancers cells use a special technique to propagate; they delete their "programmed death" gene through mutation, "forget" to die when their lifetime is over, and continue to grow instead.

	UMSOM researchers identify how certain gene mutations cause ALS Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have identified how certain gene mutations cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

	Researchers analyze immune properties of ancient human DNA Could remnants of DNA from a now-extinct human subspecies known as the Denisovans help boost the immune functions of modern humans?

	Tracing coronavirus habitats with genomics Now, a new study by researchers at the University of Ottawa and published on the preprint server bioRxiv in June 2020 reports the differences in genomes of viruses that are exposed to antiviral proteins vs. those that are not. This host-derived pressure on the virus to adapt may help devise newer ways to build an effective vaccine.
