  5. A Comprehensive Guide to Epigenomic Profiling: ChIP-qPCR, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN, CUT&Tag, and More

    In recent years, new techniques such as CUT&RUN (Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease) and CUT&Tag (Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation using Tn5 transposase) have been introduced to improve sensitivity, reduce required sample input, and significantly lower background noise. These techniques have now become core tools in epigenetic research, providing strong technical support for both scientific discovery and clinical translation.

  6. How Antibodies Contribute to Climate Change Research

    Antibodies have long been seen as tools reserved for scientists tending to mice in temperature-controlled incubators. But outside the lab, global warming has shifted from a statistic on paper to wave after wave of heat crashing into our daily lives. Fortunately, a growing number of researchers are now harnessing the power of antibodies to study the consequences of climate change—and explore how humanity might respond.
