The chromatin microenvironment is a dynamically balanced system of organismal epigenetic regulation and thus regulation of gene expression. Any heritable modification mechanism in the chromatin can be used as a marker of epigenetic inheritance. The dynamic balance of chromatin is essential to maintain normal cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism and functional activities. ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq&…
Introduction Gene transcription requires the unraveling of a higher structural part of the DNA. This part of the chromatin is called accessible chromatin region and this process is achieved mainly by the modification of chromosomal histones (especially acetylation). The property of chromatin is called chromatin accessibility, so that chromatin accessibility reflects the state of binding of regulatory factors to open chromatin, which is closely related to transcriptional regulation. ATAC-seq technique uses Tn5 transposase to cleave regions o…
What is Blood Transcriptomics? Considering that disease-causing and disease-protecting immune cells need to be transferred from lymphatic and secondary lymphoid organs through the peripheral circulation to their sites of action in disease, a clearer picture of the cells and their action gene expression is provided by identif…
What is ChIP Sequencing? Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is an effective method for isolating DNA fragments bound to specific proteins in vivo. DNA-binding proteins can be transcription factors (TFs) or other chromatin-associated proteins, such as histones. With the rapid development of DNA sequencing technology, the direct sequencing of DNA fragments obtained in ChIP using high-throughput sequencing is called ChIP-seq. Due to its high resolution and coverage, ChIP-seq has become a popular method for analyzing chromatin modifications and TF bindin…
The potential of life sciences to deliver game-changing medicines and technology has never been greater. And with discoveries will come high numbers of jobs and significant economic benefits. That is exciting news in a sector that already employs more than 250,000 people, supports 6,500 businesses, and generates an annual turnover of £94bn.

By addressing these challenges and embracing new technologies, Clinical data management systems can improve efficiency, enhance data quality, and ultimately…
Compared with common materials, nanomaterials have a series of excellent properties that make nano-antibacterial agents prepared by nanotechnology have excellent antibacterial effects unmatched by traditional antibacterial agents. Nano antibacterial agents can be divided into two categories according to their mechanism of action on microorganisms: one is photocatalytic semiconductor materials such as nano zinc oxide, Nano-TiO2 (nano titanium dioxide), etc.; the other is antibacterial active metal nanomaterials. As a new type of antibacterial material, nano-TiO2 (nano titanium dioxide) has the advantages of non-toxic, non-irritating, thermal stability, heat re…
Clinical trials are critical for bringing new treatments and therapies to market, but they are also time-consuming, expensive, and complex.

The Basic Principles of Chromatography When the components in the mixture of solutions are moved forward in the mobile phase by the material moving the sample, these components pass through the stationary phase. The difference in size and strength of each component causes the difference in the residence time of the component to flow out of the stationary phase. Types of Chromatography According to the different separation mechanisms, chromatography can be divided i…
