How Early Life Thrived Without Oxygen - BioTechniques
WEBJan 11, 2017 — According to Planavsky, oxygen saturated the surface of oceans and the atmosphere, but these sulfur-oxidizing bacteria thrived best at the interface between oxic and oxygen-poor waters. The evolution of the environment changed the course of evolution for most life on Earth. “A lot of people don’t think about how the Earth has changed so ...
GridION: Flexible benchtop DNA/RNA sequencing device
WEBMar 11, 2022 — GridION is a self-contained, easily deployable benchtop device designed to run and analyse up to five independently addressable MinION or Flongle Flow Cells, providing flexibility and scalability. Using nanopore sequencing technology, it’s a workhorse that can respond to the needs of multiple users on …
Proteomics Archives - BioTechniques
WEBProteomics. The term ‘ proteomics ’ was first coined in 1994 by Marc Wilkens, who went on to establish the first dedicated proteomics laboratory in 1995. This first definition referred to the large-scale study of proteomes, the entire set of proteins present in a cell type, tissue or organism. The definition has now evolved into a more.
SPR Analysis System Gets an Update - BioTechniques
WEBJan 23, 2020 — SPR is a key technique used to identify a variety of factors regarding binding interactions, including kinetics, affinity and specificity. The technique involves securing one of the binding partners (referred to as the ligand) to a thin gold film and passing the second binding partner (the analyte) through the field of ligands on the gold film.

Improving heterologous protein production in yeast with …
WEBNov 8, 2021 — Development of microbial strains for heterologous protein production necessitates a whole-genome engineering approach. In order to achieve the optimal performance, engineering efforts should include not only editing of the heterologous protein expression cassette, but genomic targets, such as transcription and translation machinery, transport and signaling, protein degradation and other ...
Solving Environmental Problems with New Technology
WEBMay 7, 2020 — This new technology, known as cold-SNAP, improves evaporative cooling systems through the use of 3D-printed ceramic coated on one side in a hydrophobic nanoscale material. This results in an effective heat exchange unit that is able to isolate evaporating water from cooled air. The coating acts as a water vapor barrier, limiting humidification ...
Draft of Human Pangenome Published - BioTechniques
WEBNow, in May 2023, the Consortium announced the first draft of the human pangenome, which incorporates complete DNA data of 47 individuals from every continent except Antarctica. Unlike the existing linear reference, the pangenome displays multiple alternatives of the human genome sequence simultaneously. The pangenome not only introduces more ...
