DNA damage is an inevitable consequence of biological processes and environmental exposure. Many types of DNA damage result from exposure to various chemicals, physical conditions, aging, or manipulation. From oxidation to deamination, modified bases can lead to mutagenic effects that put organisms at risk of disorder and disease.

Metabarcoding can take a panoramic view of biodiversity from complex environmental DNA samples and accurately inform us about individual species. Learn how Nattanon Meeprom, Ph.D., surmounted sample challenges to accelerate data collection as part of a research team evaluating Saudi Arabian ecosystems.

Learn how lyophilized beads are reshaping diagnostics and research by providing a stable, ready-to-use reagent format that overcomes cold-chain and handling challenges while streamlining workflows. Through optimized freeze-drying processes and automation-friendly design, these ambient-stable beads ensure robust assay performance and reduced waste. NEB Lyo Sciences' expertise in freeze-dry protocols and custom solutions empowers both laboratory research and field-based testing.

Genomics is a field where technological advancements continuously and rapidly reshape the landscape, necessitating faster and better reagents for faster and better libraries.
