This post was contributed by guest blogger Harshana S De Silva Feelixge. Gene therapy technologies hold great promise for improving or potentially curing human diseases that were previously thought to be incurable. Rapid advances in next generation sequencing technologies have ...
Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are the most frequently used gene-transfer tools in the study of the brain and spinal cord, which together are known as the central nervous system (CNS). AAVs are popular tools because: 1) their genomes are easy to manipulate, 2) they have ...
Updated Jun 1, 2021 by Meghan Rego. Reproducible data are key to science, so scientists are used to repeating experiments to confirm their findings. But no scientist wants to repeat an experiment because of poor reagent quality. To make sure our AAV vectors are of the highest ...
We’re always looking for ways to improve our shipment processes. After reading a publication describing how short term storage on dry ice can shift sample pH, we wondered whether or not the dry ice we use to keep viruses frozen during shipment was having an impact on the ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger Katrina Armstrong, a Neurophysiology Msc Student at the University of Manitoba. Location, Location, Location! Failure to Plan (for Storage) Is Planning to Fail Patience Is Bitter but Its Fruit Is Sweet The Future? I knew little about ...
You can use viral vectors for many experimental purposes. To help you make sense of all the viral vector information that's out there, Addgenie Leila Haery has summed up some of the most important characteristics of retroviruses, lentiviruses, AAVs, and adenoviruses in this ...
