Biotechnology: is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use" (UN Convention on Biological Diversity, Art. 2). Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the (related) fields of bioengineering, biomedical engineering, biomanufacturing, molecular engineering, etc.
NSD2 catalyzes the mono- and di-methylation of the e-amine of lysine 36 from histone H3, utilizing the methyl donor S-adenosyl-L-methionine. Increased catalytic activity of NSD2, either by ov...

In genomics, as in life, you need to be in the right place at the right time, and you need integrity, to be credible. Since the availability of the human genome sequence, there's been an...
This presentation illustrates the features of QIAGEN sample to insight approach, and how it combines a powerful chemistry based on unique molecular indexes (UMIs) and a UMI-aware bioinformati...
For a plant that has been legal in some states for over 20 years, there has been an attitude that “cannabis never killed anyone.” While we don’t have the necessary rese...
The cannabis industry as a whole is under considerable scrutiny. Finger-pointing and blame regarding inaccurate product labels run rampant. Media outlets have often faulted the sk...
