Scientists from ECRC and Technion in Israel have developed a novel method for rapid and accurate sensing of coronavirus without the need to rely on PCR amplification. The test now published in ACS Nano, also helps in the early diagnosis of cancer.

To advance molecular evolutionary analyses and genomics in clinical settings a team of scientists from the Leibniz IZW, the Australian Museum and MDC have developed a method for identifying any genome sequence located next to a known sequence. The results are reported in “Methods in Ecology and Evolution”.
