...researchers also see a future well beyond vaccines. They think the technology will permit cheap gene fixes for cancer, sickle-cell disease, and maybe even HIV.

Who can guess the ingredient? A curious life-form that lives in the park’s thermal pools makes a protein that changed the course of biomedical history.

With more contagious variants of the virus circulating, using cheap and simple antigen tests to screen whole populations could be a crucial way of swiftly identifying and quarantining local outbreaks.

Great article on how #variants impact testing. Our Synthetic RNA Controls provide quality control measures for the verification & validation of diagnostic tests for both NGS & RT-PCR assays, & we add new controls as variants arise. #TwistControls
