The Scientist’s Post

In David Brenner’s latest essay in The San Diego Union-Tribune, he describes how technological advances, from complex cell cultures and organoids to computational models driven by artificial intelligence are increasingly lessening the need to rely upon problematic animal testing for new drugs and therapies – and why they are more likely to directly and effectively inform research and future success. Read the full essay here: https://bit.ly/3voLABW

Have you wondered how the plates are loaded in our SeqStudio Flex Genetic Analyzer for HID? In our cutting-edge setup, we have an advanced robotic arm specifically designed to handle and transport the plates for analysis. This arm is programmed to pick up the plates and move them to the designated area where the capillaries are located. Of course the drawer is locked during this time making it impossible to overload the system or put plates in the wrong location. Learn more in the video. #thermofisheremp

Some species of tardigrades are highly and unusually resilient to various extreme conditions fatal to most other forms of life. The design and editing of specific tardigrade genes allow researchers to investigate which are responsible for tardigrade resilience and how such resilience can work. #UTokyoResearch https://bit.ly/4eiY14k

We encourage you to read the article, “A Review on Plant Disease Detection Using Hyperspectral Imaging.” 📝 Authored by: Rakiba Rayhana; Zhenyu Ma; Zheng Liu; Gaozhi Xiao; Yuefeng Ruan; Jatinder Sangha This article provides an extensive overview of the principles, types, and operating platforms of hyperspectral image sensors. Furthermore, this article delves into the specifics of these sensors' application in plant disease detection, including disease identification, classification, severity analysis, and understanding genetic resistance. 🔗 Continue reading on IEEE Xplore: https://loom.ly/2dGi2rA #agriculture #AgriFoodElectronics #AgTech #PrecisionAgriculture #IEEE #IEEEXplore #TAFE #PlantDisease #HyperspectralImaging

This month's Map of the Month is all about Bacteria! 🦠 Raman spectroscopy is revolutionising the way we can detect differences in biological samples! By coupling with machine learning techniques like PCA, we can create detailed maps that differentiate healthy from diseased tissue or even identify different infectious pathogens based on their spectral scores.

Do you need Germ-Free Confirmation? Germ-Free animal are a great tool in studying the microbiome and how it interacts with the mammalian model. Bacteria are ubiquitous and can enter a germ free system. If that happens any results could be invalidated. Regular testing can confirm the absence of bacteria, ensuring validity of the experiments. Here at Surrey Diagnostics we can confirm the absence of viable aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and show the absence of bacterial DNA by PCR. https://lnkd.in/e-yVgx-b #AnimalHealthMonitoring #BacterialDNA #PCR #GermFreeConfirmation

Pests are a massive threat to Canadian soybean production, says OAC’s Dr. Milad Eskandari. His plant genomics lab at the U of G’s Ridgetown Campus uses machine learning to plow through genetic data to select plant varieties that resist infestation while increasing soybean yields.
