Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, costing the US over $250 billion in the span of a single year. The age of those affected is dropping. In 2022, 1 in 5 of those who died of heart disease was under the age of 65. This article covers the use of proteogenomic approaches in cardiovascular research. This is the fourth article in our Proteogenomics Blog Series — for our previous article, visit Proteogenomics in Neuroscience Research ..read more

What Is Non-Coding RNA?  Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is transcribed from the regions of the genome that are not responsible for protein coding. This function falls to messenger RNA (mRNA).  ..read more

How Does Proteogenomics Help in Cancer Research? Our first installment of this Proteogenomics Blog Series defined proteogenomics as combining nucleic acid sequencing data with information on the proteins that are produced as a result of those sequences. This approach provides a deeper understanding than what is possible looking at DNA, RNA, or protein alone ..read more

What Is Metagenomics?  Metagenomics is a discipline studying the genetic content of microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Many metagenomic experiments seek to identify all of the microorganisms in a heterogeneous sample. This means microbes can be studied in their natural environment — making it possible to observe complex biological interactions.  ..read more

When it comes to single-cell sequencing, it's important to start your project on the right foot. Proper experimental design and preparation are often the difference between success and failure. Key decision-making factors in a single-cell project include ..read more

Single-cell sequencing unlocks a new level of specificity for those researching the transcriptome. But what technologies are right for a given experiment, and how should your samples inform that decision?  ..read more
