How does long-read sequencing enable metagenomic analysis of microbiomes? – Find out in your latest issue of BioTechniques

In this issue of BioTechniques, we present a miniaturized microfluidic continuous flow-based PCR device capable of on-site detection, a reliable miRNA detection approach that integrates signal amplification and CRISPR-Cas12a cleavage-based color generation, and a rapid method for measuring the number of cells in alginate capsules.
