Huge news! 🚀 The @genesinspace-12 experiment is launching soon on SpX-33 to test phage therapy in space. A big thank you to our incredible student winners and partners at Boeing, NEB, and ISS National Lab for making this possible!

So proud of the 5 amazing teams of high school students we met this week! Many congratulations to all of you!!

Meet GELATO™, a professional grade gel electrophoresis system with an integrated blue-light transilluminator www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8o-...

The Meselson and Stahl experiment demonstrated in 1958 that DNA replicated semi-conservatively. Meaning, each of the two strands of DNA serves as a template for a new copy to made of the complementary strand. Foundational finding, elegant experimental design.

Grades don’t define you. Growth does.

Fun DNA fact: Five main nucleotide bases are A, G, C, T & U: A - Adenine - 'ADEN' is Greek for "gland", found in pancreas G - Guanine - found in bird GUANO C - Cytosine - calf thymus, but named for CELLs T - Thymine - Also isolated from calf THYMUS. U - Uracil - isolated from URINE crystals.

This is so cool 😍 USAMRIID is Advancing the Next Generation of Pathogen Detection www.dvidshub.net/news/499825/...

An instant classic! Analyze DNA fragment patterns produced by restriction enzyme digestion of Lambda phage DNA. Compare single and double digests to determine the cutting sites and estimate fragment sizes using a DNA ladder. www.minipcr.com/product/lamb...

Another small step in the DNA Revolution! So stoked about shipping this ultra-low-cost-portable-fun electrophoresis system!! You can wath bands separate in real time ⏲️too 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAz3...

Congratulations to this year's Genes in Space Semifinalists! These 20 student teams will move on to compete for the grand prize - their experiment on the International Space Station! 🛰️ www.genesinspace.org/news/blog/an...

No lab left behind

Mine is also always there and ready to go!

My workhorse was occupied so I had to whip out Ye Olde @minipcr.bsky.social which remains an evergreen lifesaver in a pinch. Excellent design that won't die. Thanks, guys!
