How does "one d and done" in dPCR look like when you put it into practice? In this recent study ⬇, see how researchers transferred from ddPCR to nanoplate dPCR for HIV transcription profiling and obtained precise data with shorter time to results and higher multiplexing capabilities. Explore their findings that a considerable proportion of HIV transcripts likely originate from defective proviruses, with potential impact on curative strategies. ✅ https://lnkd.in/esgQgseW #digitalPCR #dPCR #HIVresearch

🔬 Getting to grips with the tumor microenvironment and the multiple interactions within it can help researchers build a holistic picture of cancer, from disease progression to treatment response. However, the tumor microenvironment is in a constant state of flux, making it complicated to gain an accurate understanding of what’s going on. ➡ Read about how researchers at the University of Houston used QIAGEN technologies to unravel the tumor microenvironment, paving the way for innovative cancer treatments. https://lnkd.in/eawNtXRr

We are what we eat. Still, we know surprisingly little about food microbes and how they affect our own microbiomes. In this latest 🦠 Cell 🦠 publication, researchers investigate the diversity of more than 2,500 food metagenomes and explore links with the human gut microbiome. Learn how they applied a new protocol from the MASTER EU Consortium to maximise collected microbial DNA from low biomass samples using the DNeasy PowerSoil Pro Kit with the included PowerBead Pro Tubes from QIAGEN. And discover the implications of their findings on the food microbiome, how it shapes the human microbiome, as well as future uses of metagenomics for food quality, safety and authentication. https://lnkd.in/ddksNw-G #FoodMetagenome #FoodResearch #HumanMicrobiome #FoodMicrobes #MicrobialDNA
