Hello from TAIWAN
This is Petrus Tang from the Chang Gung University, Taiwan. My group is working on the gene regulation of parasitic protozoan. We used the next-generation technology to study the miRNA and gene expression profiles. We also collaborate with our hospital on several metagenomics and bacteria re-sequencing projects. This forum is excellent. Thanks everbody to provide their invaluable experience in the this field.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
