Building a baby: are stem cell-based, embryo-like models the key to unlocking the secrets of human development? Find out in your latest issue of BioTechniques!

In this issue of BioTechniques, we describe a method combining qPCR and strand displacement isothermal amplification, providing highly sensitive detection of leptospirosis infection in humans, a detection method diagnosing genitourinary tuberculosis by loop-mediated isothermal amplification and a comparison of six DNA extraction protocols for shotgun metagenomic sequencing of microbial communities.
