Is all the material you have in the freezer actively used in your research? If not, it should be classified as biobank material and instead stored in Region Skåne's Biobank. On 9 April, a digital seminar will be held (in Swedish) on freezer storage options and news in the new Biobank Act. There is a shortage of freezers and space for new freezers in the faculty's premises. Roger Lindskog is an exp

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism
