Compared to elemental analysis of carbon (including TIC and TOC), sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen concentrations with spectrometric methods, combustion analysis offers several advantages, including the ability to measure a wide concentration range from 1 ppm up to 100%, short analysis times, easy operation of the analytical instruments, and highly reliable measurement results...
Nature paper solves 20-year mystery of how epigenetic modifications act as traffic lights to control gene expression. A major new study in the journal Nature reveals a ‘traffic light’ mechanism controlling genetic activity within cells – a system which could potentially be targeted by cancer drugs already in development. The research describes how ‘epigenetic’ changes to the structure of DNA can act as a stop-go signal in determining whether a gene should be read...

A model organism used in laboratories for the past 100 years has evolved so extensively that it may no longer be fit for purpose. According to a new study, published in Microbial Genomics, the bacterial strain Escherichia coli K-12 has been repeatedly cultured and mutated, resulting in an organism that carries many genetic changes compared to the original isolated bacteria. The research team, from Aston University...

The magnetic fields generated by a variety of everyday sources – including power networks, electrical devices and even the earth’s core – do not usually interfere with day-to-day life. However, the performance of extremely high precision technologies – such as scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) – can be negatively impacted by even the most minute magnetic disturbances, preventing the equipment from being used to its full potential...
