Microbiology Testing

Microbiology is the study of living organisms too small to be seen by the naked eye, like bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and algae, also known as microbes. Microbes play important roles in food, bodily functions, biodegradation, control of disease, and even...

Genetics Research with Genetic Markers

Genetic markers are bits of genetic material, like genes or a DNA sequence, that are easily identifiable and used in laboratories as a way to tell apart cells, individuals, and species. Gene markers are often used to research and study relationships between an...
