Lab Automation and Bioinformatics

Intelligent automation is continuously developing. Many industries are able to streamline their processes and become more efficient by utilising the power of AI and robotics. Laboratory automation is supported by a system comprised of computer hardware and software, conveyor systems, machinery and robotics and can be beneficial for processes such as recording data, high throughput screening and testing.

Bioinformatics is the use of technology to obtain, store and analyse biological data on a large scale. Through a combination of biology, computer science, maths and physics, complex biological information can be interpreted to give us a deeper understanding of human health.

This page serves as a hub for the latest news and research on lab automation and bioinformatics. Here, you will find information on bioinformatics tools, genomic sequencing, ways of using automated equipment in the lab and many other topics.

Study Reveals How Cells Compensate for Missing Chromosomes

A hallmark of cancerous cells is an abnormal number of chromosomes or chromosome arms, known as aneuploidy.

Study Reveals ATM-Driven Mechanism Behind Telomere-Induced Senescence

After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres-the protective caps at the chromosome ends-those caps eventually become too short to prevent chromosome ends from being recognized as DNA breaks.

Ambiguous Stop Codons Expand the Genetic Code in Archaea

The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in a gene codes for a unique amino acid that's added to a chain of amino acids to make a protein.

How Singing Mice Reveal the Roots of Vocal Communication

All mice squeak, but only some sing. Scotinomys teguina, aka Alston's singing mice, hail from the cloud forests of Costa Rica. More than 2,000 miles north, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) neuroscientists study these musically gifted mammals to better understand the evolutionary origins of vocal communication.

Capturing a Self-Splicing Ribozyme in Motion

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure.

Real-Time Visualization Reveals the Transcriptional Gearbox

Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing RNA in eukaryotic cells and eventually giving rise to proteins.

DNA Rigidity Inside the Nucleosome Regulates INO80 Positioning

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the nucleosome regulates the positioning of INO80. This highlights that the physical structure and shape of DNA, not just genetic information, are key components of DNA transcription.
