Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach to controlling cellular biochemical processes.

Sure, lemurs are adorable. With their big eyes, some even look like they belong in a Disney forest. But that is definitely not what drives Anne Yoder’s passion to research these primates.

The Sequencing and Genomic Technologies core facility has acquired a new sequencing platform. The llumina NextSeq 1000 produces 100-400 M reads at a variety of read lengths, including 300 bp paired-end reads at a fraction of the price of the NextSeq 500 and MiSeq.

A new publication from the lab of Greg Wray, PhD, professor of biology, explores the developmental gene regulatory networks of sea urchins. They analyzed genomes, epigenomes, and transcriptomes during early development in two Heliocidaris sea urchin species that show very different life histories.

A deeply emotional experience with cancer and a fortunate discovery of the work being conducted by Bruce Donald, Ph.D, helped Ten63 Therapeutics began to take shape.

It’s not enough to just publish a great scientific paper.

Somebody else has to think it’s great too and include the work in the references at the end of their paper, the citations. The more citations a paper gets, presumably the more important and influential it is. That’s how science works — you know, the whole standing-on-the-shoulders-of-giants thing.

Duke researchers are gaining a better understanding of how nutrient deprivation affects development.
