EFB Journal New BiotechnologyStandardization of the preanalytical phase of DNA extraction from fixed tissue for next-generation sequencing analysesNext-generation sequencing (NGS) analyses on DNA derived from archived Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) clinical material can provide a powerful tool in oncology research and clinical diagnostics. Although several studies have established that NGS can be performed using DNA from FFPE tissue, the accuracy and reproducibility of such analyses, as well as their robustness to the biomolecular quality of the samples used, remains a matter of debate. Excellent reviews have recently been published, providing evidence-based best practices for FFPE DNA extraction. Alternative fixatives exist, although their implementation in clinical practice is difficult. In this article, we present (i) a review of fixed tissue DNA preanalytics with a special focus on DNA extraction and fixed tissue sample qualification and (ii) results from comparisons between different methods of DNA extraction from tissue samples that have been fixed or stabilized by different methods, in terms of NGS metrics and different DNA quality metrics.

SCI EventWhat can Big Data do for Chemistry II
Big Data is the process of analysing high volume, high velocity data by advanced computational methods that produce actionable knowledge. This conference aims to give chemists an idea of what Big Data can do for chemistry and informatics by looking at what people are doing at the frontier of the subject.

Given rising antimicrobial resistance and a stalled R&D pipeline for compounds to treat and prevent infection, a thorough scientific evaluation of European ethnopharmacology is overdue. This is a great opportunity to be part of a cohesive professional network of researchers to discuss and define areas for collaboration, methods development and translational research within this key area.

Biology Week: Policy Lates - Insect declines in the headlights
A free Policy Lates event discussing insect decline
Insects have hit the headlines recently. Studies suggesting declines at national and global scales have been described in terms of ‘armageddon' and ‘apocalypse' - but what is the reality, and what can we do about it?
This event will explore the evidence behind the headlines. We will consider what we know about insect declines and what we don't know, to better understand the causes and consequences of insect population changes. Our expert panel will discuss how we monitor and conserve this vital and diverse group of organisms, while addressing challenges such crop protection and control of pest species.
