Annotating human genes: where do we stand now?
In a perspective article published in Nature, Piero Carninci and colleagues discuss the status of human gene annotation and how high-throughput RNA sequencing technologies have accelerated the discovery of non-coding RNA genes with unknown functions and will promote the completion of the human gene catalogue.
Checklists for preparation and analysis of microscopy images
An international group of light microscopists provides guidelines on how to process raw microscopy images and assemble them for publication in a standardised and reproducible manner.
Ultrastructure Expansion Microscopy details Chlamy native organisation
The Pigino Group developed a detailed protocol to obtain super-resolution images of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by using conventional optical light microscopes.
Welcome to our new Director Marino Zerial
On 1 September 2023 the Human Technopole community warmly welcomed Marino Zerial as he officially took office as the institute’s new Director.
Knocking-in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii genes with CRISPR/Cas
The Pigino Group presents a CRISPR/Cas-based protocol for the targeted insertion of exogenous genes in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas that is amenable to rapid high-throughput screening of mutant cells.
