Radioimmunoassay: A Powerful Technique For Biomedical Research and Clinical Diagnosis

Radioimmunoassay Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is an important technique used for detecting and quantifying substances in a liquid sample. It has played a major role in endocrinology and many other areas of biomedical research and clinical diagnosis since the 1960s. The technique involves use of radiolabeled substances called tracers and specific antibodies to measure concentration of targeted…

Next Generation Sequencing: Revolutionizing Genomics and Beyond

DNA sequencing technology has progressed at an unprecedented pace Since the mapping of the first human genome in 2003, DNA sequencing technology has advanced rapidly. The “Next Generation Sequencing” or NGS has reduced the time and cost of DNA sequencing by orders of magnitude compared to “First Generation” Sanger sequencing. This new sequencing approach is…
