Centromere (just wondering)
I understand that we can either fractionate RNA or cDNA so poly A library is not a necessity for RNA-seq. However, would fractionated RNA alone serve to give a decent coverage?

PolyA selection allows for selection of mRNA. Total RNA from a cell/tissue contains more than 98% of ribosomal RNA sequences and therefore it would be wise to do either polyA selection or remove ribosomal RNA by other means. If not done, you end up having 80% of your reads mappings to ribosomes.Post-doctoral Fellow

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.
The systematic characterization of the human proteome has...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM
