Once a tool that only piqued the interest of technology developers, protein microarrays have come into their own as scientists find new ways to apply them in basic and translational studies.
Small (and not-so-small) noncoding RNAs have thrown a spanner in the works of understanding genome function. We take a look at the major questions brought about by micro-RNA, Piwi-interacting RNA, and more.
Now in its ninth year, the experiment that was the Institute for Systems Biology has become an established research organization known for its focus on translational science.
