Beyond the Genome: Advances in Sequencing the Brain

Our ability to rapidly sequence the nucleic acids that form the building blocks of our cells has arguably done more for biomedical science over the last twenty years than any other development. But modern sequencing techniques have now moved beyond the genome and in this infographic, we review the new multiomics methods powering neuroscience discovery.

Opinionated Science Episode 43: Genomics Power Hour: Decoding Morning Sickness and Dog Behavior

In this episode of Opinionated Science, the team reviews two studies that show off the power of genomic technologies, from very different angles. One answers key questions about why some women experience extreme vomiting and sickness during pregnancy, and the other reveals why dog breeds aren’t all they are cracked up to be.

Neurogenomics

Over the recent decades, science has witnessed the coupling of the neuroscience and genomics research fields to create a novel area known as neurogenomics. In this infographic, we explore how neurogenomics came to be, the methodologies commonly adopted in research studies and how it contributes to our understanding of neurological diseases.

Opinionated Science Episode 1: Genes and the Brain

In this episode, the Technology Networks team discusses neurogenomics, the interface between our genes and our brain.

5 Key RNA Sequencing Techniques in Neuroscience

In this list, discover more about the key RNA-seq techniques used in neuroscience, including the direction and contributions of single-cell RNA sequencing, patch-seq and fluorescence in situ sequencing.

Neurogenomics – News and Features

Mutant Immune Cells in the Brain Heighten Alzheimer's Risk

A new MIT study finds that microglia with mutant TREM2 protein reduce brain circuit connections, promote inflammation and contribute to Alzheimer’s pathology in other ways.

Stress Changes More Genes in the Mouse Brain Than a Head Injury

A surprising thing happened when researchers began exploring whether early-life stress compounds the effects of a childhood head injury on health and behavior later in life.

Potential Targets Identified for Therapy-Resistant Breast Cancers

Researchers have identified potential targets to treat therapy-resistant breast cancers, suggesting some already-approved drugs could be repurposed for certain cancer patients.

Star Fish May Be All Head No Body

For centuries, naturalists have puzzled over what might constitute the head of a sea star, commonly called a “starfish.” Researchers have published a study finding that the truth is closer to the absolute reverse.

High Brain Metabolism Could Be Early Sign of Alzheimer's

An early phase in the process of developing Alzheimer’s disease is a metabolic increase in a part of the brain called the hippocampus, report researchers from Karolinska Institutet in a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.

Uncovering the Key Factors Linking Nerve Cells and Glioblastoma

A pioneering study unveiled that the 3D organization of DNA can influence the progression of the aggressive brain tumour known as glioblastoma. Having identified the factors that glioblastoma uses to respond to neurons by growing and spreading.
