The techniques we use to investigate the universe around us are essential for the advancement of science. Novel, methods can open whole new fields of study, while refinements to a protocol can dramatically improve its efficiency, accuracy and reliability of results. Such advancements have the greatest impact when shared and incorporated across research communities.
This collection, the first of a series at BMC Research Notes, showcases the myriad of improvements and additions to research techniques used across Molecular Biology and Genetics. We welcomed Research Note articles addressing:
- Methods to improve sample or data quality
- Methods that improve reliability and accuracy
- Faster methods
- More powerful methods
- Method comparisons and Commentaries discussing:
- The history and future of significant techniques or methods in molecular biology and genetics
- New or scientifically challenging techniques and their potential
- Controversial methods or models and their impact
