Accelerating progress in the agricultural sector
Farmers today face many complex challenges—such as climate change, land scarcity, rising population levels, and a loss of biodiversity—that negatively impact the industry. Scientists at the National Agricultural Research and Development Institute (NARDI) in Fundulea, Romania, rely on VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipettes to help streamline their phenotyping and genotyping workflows as part of a scientific approach to solving pressing issues in Romanian agriculture.

| | | | A large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) using data from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veterans Program (MVP) – one of the largest US-based biobanks – fills crucial gaps in our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease across diverse populations, according to a new study. | | | | Researchers at the Garvan Institute have discovered putative drivers of cancer concealed in so-called "junk" DNA regions, creating opportunities for novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment using artificial intelligence. | | | | CRISPR-Cas systems, defense systems in bacteria, have become a plentiful source of technologies for molecular diagnostics. | | | | University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell proliferation according to the paper, "Drosophila melanogaster Set8 and L(3)mbt function in gene expression independently of histone H4 lysine 20 methylation," published in Genes & Development. | | | | Novel multiplexing technology enables seamless sample pooling facilitating cost-efficient single cell experiments for compound screening and translational research. | | | | The effectiveness of CAR T cell therapy against a variety of cancers, including solid tumors, could be boosted greatly by using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to knock out the gene for CD5, a protein found on the surface of T cells, according to a preclinical study from investigators at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine and Abramson Cancer Center. | | | | A research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Zoology has created a novel gene-writing technology based on retrotransposons, as reported in a recent study published in Cell. This accomplishment permits targeted gene integration in human cells through all-RNA-mediated means. | |
