Relax and Let NanoSPA Analyze m6A and Ψ RNA Mods for YouFebruary 20, 2024We could all use a spa day once in a while, so light some lavender-scented candles, take a deep breath, and let NanoSPA analyze the RNA modifications in your samples. This new nanopore sequencing analysis pipeline provides data on both N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and pseudouridine (Ψ) modifications at the same time, reducing stress and saving time. Instead […]
Making a Connection – Lactate Epigenetically Links Metabolism and Gene ExpressionFebruary 19, 2024Falling in love, kicking a football, and cell identity changes driven by metabolic reprogramming all have one thing in common – making a connection is vitally important! Now, Â a well-hooked-up new study reveals how lactate epigenetically links metabolism to the activation of a gene regulatory network that controls embryonic development. A plugged-in team of researchers […]
TIME-Seq Flies When Constructing Cost-Effective Epigenetic ClocksFebruary 19, 2024If time drags and money disappears when looking at DNA methylation-based epigenetic clocks, you are “in time” to hear of a newly described efficient and cost-effective bisulfite sequencing approach! Time flies – but money does not – with “tagmentation-based indexing for methylation sequencing” or TIME-seq! An on-time team led by David A. Sinclair (Harvard Medical […]
eBook: New & Novel Methods for Epigenetic AnalysisFebruary 7, 2024Epigenetics is not new, but methods used for analysis certainly can be! In this eBook, we take a look at, and present in a simple format, some of the hottest new methods for researchers looking at DNA Methylation, RNA modifications, Chromatin and Gene Regulation. Topics Include: Differential Methylation Data Are Quick, Easy, and Inexpensive with […]
GEMS Makes the m6A RNA Modification Shine in Living CellsFebruary 5, 2024Unlike DNA or histone methylation, knowledge about N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of RNA is a little cloudy. It’s involved in some cancers and other diseases, but we don’t know as much about its expression in living cells. Now, a new method called GEMS makes m6A shine bright like a diamond for drug discovery and delivery of […]
