Key strategies for enhancing your DNA extraction process from agarose gels—boost purity and increase yield with expert tips!

Claudia Gonzaga-Jauregui, Ph. D., discussed how underrepresentation undermines health equity when it comes to genomics in an NEB-hosted seminar and podcast episode. As of the time of writing, over 93% of genome-wide association studies had European ancestry, highlighting the lack of diversity. Focusing on her work, this blog breaks down some of the efforts to bridge the health equity gap in Mexico...
