EPFL scientists have developed a microfluidics-based technique that can greatly speed up the process, with only a minimum of materials.
Researchers present a novel approach to single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) called “Live-seq”, which enables the extraction of mRNA from single cells without killing the cell. The method is published in <i>Nature</i>.
RNA sequencing allows scientists to study the expression of genes in a cell. Since messenger RNA (mRNA) is generated from a DNA gene, that information can be used to identify the original gene sequence and thus measure the activity of thousands of genes (i.e. the transcriptome) in these cells.
A global team revealed the first draft of a human cell atlas Thursday — a...
Researchers from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) are exploring the possibility of personalized treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia by regulating the expression of a gene known for its “anti-cancer” properties.
