Allele-specific expression due to genetic differences, X-chromosome inactivation or genomic imprinting, varies dynamically throughout development, and may be explained by allele-specific differences in stability or the actions of tissue-specific enhancers.

The Affimer technology represents renewable binding reagents for molecular biology, which provides research scientists and industry with an alternative to the recently criticised use of animal-produced antibodies.
A new method that measures multiple aspects of chromatin organization in single cells has a possible application to study regulatory processes in heterogeneous samples.

The WorMotel, a novel microfabricated device for automated longitudinal imaging of aging in large numbers of Caenorhabditis elegans, reveals that long and short lived strains vary in their behavioral decline during aging in a similar way to the long and short lived individuals in a wild type population.
