Everyone loves a perfectly ripe strawberry, right? They count towards your five a day and contain important nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants. But what if science could help breeders make them even better?

遗传variations have been used to link cannabis samples to geographical areas of origin, providing insight into the plant's history and possible distribution.

With 15 issued US patents, 45 published patent applications and nearly 50 refereed publications, Michael Weiner, PhD, Vice President, Molecular Sciences at Abcam is an expert in molecular biology. We recently spoke with Michael to learn more about the specific inspirations that ignited his interest in science. He tell us more about his research interests and the molecular biology methods that he has invented over the years.

If the 20th century was about improving technology, the 21st century has focused on improving access to technology. In this article, we look at how the "Internet of Things" (IoT) movement is changing research, and find that IoT in the lab is at an important crossroads

Proteogenomics - a multiomic discipline which combines gene, protein and RNA data, has potential to give a true systems perspective on the human body. We look at the techniques that enable proteogenomics analysis, and the potential of the field in the clinic to personalize medicine and battle cancer.

下一代multi-omics使它的发展possible to generate and process massive amounts of data that cover anything from genomic mutations to metabolomic and microbiological processes. However, handling and analyzing all this data continues to present challenges to even the most experienced bioinformatics experts. In this article we explore some of the solutions and advancements in multi-omics and metaproteomics data analysis approaches.

Advances in research mean researchers have access to more data than ever before, but effectively using and sharing this data has become a major challenge in modern research. In this article, Fiona Nielsen, founder of data platform Repositive, explains how data providers can make access to data easier and more secure.

We spoke to Professor Giovanni Maglia, group leader in chemical biology at the University of Groningen, about the progress he and his team have been making in turning nanopore technology to solving protein questions.

Prevention and detection of harmful microorganisms within the food industry, be it in your own kitchen, during the production chain or right back at the producer is imperative to keeping consumers healthy. Changes occurring in our climate are also causing shifts in the niches inhabited by microbes, and scientists must keep ahead of the game to prevent emerging issues.

Nanopore sequencing is now proving to a be a fruitful field for elucidating proteins as it has previously for DNA sequencing. However, it is yet to reach the point that DNA technologies have and there are still challenges to overcome and mysteries to solve. Here we talk to Professor Giovanni Maglia, group leader in chemical biology at the University of Groningen, about his group’s recent work in the area, the challenges they are working towards and the future of the field.
