View ArticleNormalising and integrating metabolomics data
Metabolomics research often requires the use of multiple analytical platforms, batches of samples, and laboratories, any of which can introduce a component of unwanted variation. In addition, every...
View ArticleBeing and media: digital ontology after the event of the end of media
In the contemporary era, everything is digital and the digital is everything. Everything is digitized to data, then modulated between storage and display in an endless network of protocol-based...
View ArticleGenetics of the P2X7 receptor and human disease
The P2RX7 gene is highly polymorphic, and many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) underlie the wide variation observed in P2X7 receptor responses. We review the discovery of those non-synonymous...
