    Simple question: Who actually discovered 5 methyl C?

    For some reason this information is not readily available. Just want to know who to give the nobel prize to.

    As usual, there is not a simple answer.

    Frequently Rollin Hotchkiss is credited, because he was the first to describe "Epi-cytosine" as a distinct, but chemically very similar base to cytosine. (see Fig. 2)

    However he established no link to epigenetics and also did not investigate the exact chemical structure of "Epi-Cytosine". The identification as 5mC was achieved by Waldo Cohn in 1951 .

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
