Researchers performing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) or quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions (RT-qPCR) with low input RNA must often preamplify their samples to collect reliable data. Researchers commonly develop their own preamplification materials and workflows to amplify RNA from low abundance samples, but this can lead to variable results, long labor-intensive protocols, and significant cost. Though some commercial preamplification kits are available, their price point is often out of reach for many research labs. To simplify the preamplification required

Like all RNA viruses, SARS-CoV-2 is prone to mutations—adaptive changes that can alter a virus’ pathogenic potential and other characteristics. These mutations can create distinct variants of the virus, adding complexity to what has already become the most significant global public health challenge since the 1918 influenza pandemic.

In 2006, I graduated from college with a 3.83 degree in Biology. Surely a student graduating with honors would be working at a prestigious laboratory contemplating the most complex questions in science, right?
That was not my story. A few months after graduation, I was working at the Baby Depot at a Burlington Coat Factory making minimum wage. It was a decent job, but it was not what I went to school for.

COVID-19 has presented new opportunities in the work world, and remote work is here to stay. As a nurse, you should look forward to more flexible opportunities to work from anywhere while getting paid the same amount you would if you worked in a physical location.

Below are a few MDD statistics to be aware of.
Approximately 3 million people each year will be diag...
