The Biomek, introduced in 1986, transformed the speed at which samples for patient diagnosis as well as drug analysis could be tested. It reduced the overall time for results, increasing number of samples that could be analysed each day to many thousands. London science museum.

An interesting update to look at. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nat…

Biochemist Kary Mullis discovered the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) while driving a route well known to him at night. His thoughts wandered, the pieces of a puzzle he had been thinking about fell into place and the rest is history. Read more: bit.ly/2F53qwS

New from Lippman Lab and recent PhD grad Dani Ciren on bioRxiv: “A striking paradox is that genes with conserved protein sequence, function and expression pattern over deep time often exhibit extremely divergent cis-regulatory sequences.” More inside… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Scientists from the IRRI developed a robust, first ever speed breeding protocol for rice that will achieve 4 to 5 crops of rice in one year - almost double of what has been possible in breeding programs until now. Read more: bit.ly/4aF1GHE
