The human genome, the genetic code that makes us uniquely human, has been the subject of scientific study and fascination for decades. The human genome contains approximately 3.055 billion base pairs. These are the molecular building blocks of DNA, consisting of adenine (A) paired with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) paired with guanine (G). This vast number is a testament not only to the complexity of the human race, but also to the intricate interplay of genetic factors that influence our physiology, behavior, and predispositions. Billions of base pairs and complex sequences determine ever…
The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) a heuristic system, meaning it uses clever shortcuts to speed up the search process. "Local" alignments are performed by BLAST. Functional domains are frequently repeated within the same protein as well as across various proteins from different species, indicating that most proteins are modular in nature.
Introduction to FASTQ Format/Files A FASTQ file is a text file that stores the sequence data from clusters that pass the flow cell's filter. Demultiplexing is the first phase in creating a FASTQ file if specimens were multiplexed. Demultiplexing assigns clusters to a specimen based on the index sequence of each cluster (s). The assembled sequences are published to FASTQ files per specimen after demultiplexing. If specimens were not multiplexed…
A FASTQ file is a text file that stores the sequence data from clusters that pass the flow cell's filter. Demultiplexing is the first phase in creating a FASTQ file if specimens were multiplexed. Demultiplexing assigns clusters to a specimen based on the index sequence of each cluster (s). The assembled sequences are published to FASTQ files per specimen after demultiplexing. If specimens were not multiplexed, the demultiplexing step is skipped, and all clusters are allocated to a single specimen for each flow cell lane.

It’s no secret that the NHS is more stretched than ever before, dealing with tightening budgets, a shortage of staff, and growing waiting lists, all with the constant pressure to see more patients, faster than ever before. This tension trickles down to every member of NHS staff. In fact, a survey found that just a quarter of the NHS workforce believe there are enough staff to do their jobs properly, and a third feel burnt out.

The NHS waiting list isn’t going away anytime soon, but by leveraging innovative solutions, such as digital patient engagement portals, the NHS can help patients wait well and transform waiting from a burden to an opportunity. Mark Gannon, Head of Client Solutions at Netcall, emphasises the importance of proactive reassurance for those currently on the waiting list and calls on NHS trusts to place control back into the patient's hands.
By John Clarke, Head of Client Solutions – Health at Netcall Imagine a patient eagerly awaiting their long-anticipated appointment with a specialist, consumed by anxiety and uncertainty. Time seems to stand still as they wait for weeks, or even months, in anticipation. The enduring struggle of patients waiting for healthcare services is a deeply rooted issue…
There are various techniques for the preparation of microspheres, and the selection of an appropriate method depends on the physicochemical properties of the drug. Currently, the most widely used methods include emulsion evaporation, phase separation, spray drying, and hot-melt extrusion, each with corresponding products on the market.
Emulsion Evaporation Method The solvent evaporation method is the most widely applied technique for microsphere preparation. In industrial production, it can be carried out using a reaction vessel or a static mixer, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Preparation Techniques in a Reaction Vessel For lipophilic drugs, the water-in-oil (O/W) emulsion method is employed. This involves dissolving lipophilic raw materials in an organic solvent as the oil ph…
In order to more effectively deliver chemotherapy drugs, Small Molecule Drug Conjugates (SMDC), Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADC), and Degradation Antibody Conjugates (DAC) have been successively explored and developed, enhancing the therapeutic index while providing selective delivery. What are their similarities and differences? What are their respective advantages? What is the current status of research and development? What are the prospects? This article analyzes each aspect.
Definitions SMDC consists of a small molecule drug (usually a highly active chemotherapy drug) and a targeting ligand (usually a small molecule), connected through conjugation technology. This conjugate can selectively deliver the drug to disease-related cells, such as cancer cells, thereby increasing efficacy and re…
Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) is a synthetic polymer similar to DNA or RNA. PNA can be said to have been born in Denmark, where it was originally developed by Peter E. Nielsen (University of Copenhagen), Michael Egholm (University of Copenhagen), Rolf H. Berg (Risø National Laboratory), Technical University of Denmark) and Ole Buchardt (University of Copenhagen) invented it in 1991.
Applications of PNA include altering gene expression, serving as inhibitors and promoters, antigene and antisense therapeutics, anticancer agents, antiviral agents, antibacterial and antiparasitic agents, molecular tools and probes for biosensors, DNA Sequence detection and nanotechnology. Genome editing In October 2022, Neubase shifted the focus of its PNA business to gene editing. Neubase, in partnership with a g…
In recent years, various nucleic acid-based therapies (NBT) have emerged as effective and specific activators of endogenous gene expression.
Unlike gene therapy approaches supplementing gene expression, RNA-targeted therapy enhances protein production by selectively modulating cellular mechanisms mediated by endogenous RNA, such as transcription, splicing, translation, mRNA stability, and subcellular localization. Currently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency have approved several therapies targeting splicing mechanisms to regulate mutations in exons. These methods can increase the expression of coding and non-coding genes specifically and controllably, reducing development and manufacturing costs and thus expanding the range of treatable diseases.
