SOMAmer® reagents focus on single proteins in living cells
An article published online today in Nature Methods describes the use of SOMAmer® reagents to specifically label and precisely visualize single molecules within single cells. This new use for SOMAmer reagents opens the door to viewing how biological structures are organized on a molecular scale and how they function in living tissue in real time.
Integrated protein “communications” networks link genetic variations to complex aging-related diseases
Addressing one of the largest remaining knowledge gaps in biomedical science, researchers from Novartis, SomaLogic, and the Icelandic Heart Association have found a way to tie genetic variations to complex disorders, such as heart disease and diabetes. Their findings, published online today in the journal Science, demonstrate that communication between networks of proteins can explain the connections between genes and diseases.
SomaLogic licenses GNS Healthcare’s REFS™ technology for analysis of its SOMAscan®-derived proteomic data
SomaLogic and GNS Healthcare announced today that SomaLogic has obtained a license to apply GNS Healthcare’s proprietary REFS™ (Reverse Engineering & Forward Simulation) causal machine learning technology to SomaLogic’s proprietary SOMAscan®-derived protein data sets.
Translating the “Book of Life”
An article published today in the journal Nature brings us closer to understanding how differences in the genomes of individuals help contribute to common diseases and influence disease risk. Specifically, this study – by far the largest of its kind to date – revealed the effects of genetic variations on the levels of circulating blood proteins across thousands of individuals.
