Synthetic Biology: Using genetic engineering methods to create organisms that produce valuable materials or services. Short enough to tweet.
Polymerase Chain Reaction, PCR is a necessary step when working with DNA. Depending on what you are doing you might be doing PCR a lot. Do you like memes?
After two years of lockdown who isn't ready for a vacation. I know I was. I went to Hawaii with my 6-year-old to see friends and to spend time relaxing on the beach.
Synthetic biology is a rapidly growing field. Using genetic engineering methods scientists are able to create organisms. Agriculture is cultivating organisms for the production of materials that better human life. Synthetic biology takes it a step further by designing organisms.
Recent market research reports have named Aurora Biomed as one of the top three company for COVID-19 antigen test kits.
There are several tests to determine if you have COVID-19. These tests identify SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 in different ways. Antigen tests detect molecules present on the outer surface of the virus. RT-PCR looks for the presence of the virus’ genetic material. Antibody tests look to see if the immune system is producing antibodies against the virus. We’ll go over what each test does with the pros and cons of the different tests. This educational content will help you understand which test might be the right one for you.
COVID-19 and the seasonal flu may have similar symptoms but there is an easy quick test that will tell you which one you have.
COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Seasonal flu is often caused by either influenza A or influenza B.
How can you know which virus you have? The rapid antigen tests for SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and influenza B. One test for three viruses. A nasopharyngeal swab (swab that goes up the nose and to the back of the throat) is needed for the test. The test is designed to be taken with in the first 5 days of symptoms. The test takes 15 minutes for results.
If you show a positive COVID-19 result, a doctor may want a molecular PCR test to confirm the result.

Two of the most widely used vaccines during the current COVID-19 pandemic are the mRNA vaccines developed by BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna. Here’s a look at some of the most common questions regarding these vaccines.
Many countries do not make public the number of COVID-19 tests performed, but those which do show just how staggering the demands on diagnostic laboratories have been in the past year.
