Genome science refers to the study of the genome, and organism's complete set of DNA which includes all of its genes. Genome constrasts with genetics, the latter of which refers to the study of one specific gene and their role in inheritance.
Severe COVID-19 is characterized by dramatic immune system activation and inflammation. Several studies to modulate the immune response and limit immunopathology are ongoing. To better under...
With more than 6 million infections and more than 300,000 deaths (as of end of May 2020), the current COVID-19 pandemic has led to large scale lockdown around the world to prevent further sp...

Proteins are the functional blocks of any biological entity from 50 nm sized viruses to the 100 ft long mammals (blue whale). They perform intra cellular, tissue, organ, system, or organism...
The basic units of biological structure and function are cells, which exhibit wide variation in regard to both type and state. We assess such variation by simultaneously profiling the transc...
