MINOTECH biotechnology presents some of the amazing breakthroughs accomplished last year in Health Science field.

This movie introduces the MInION, a USB nanopore device for the electronic analysis of biological molecules including DNA, RNA and proteins.

CRISPR/Cas system is a powerful new approach for genome editing with many applications in biomedical research.This technology is a cut-and–paste system based on a prokaryotic adaptive immune defense mechanism for the degradation of foreign genetic elements.

Psychrophilic organisms are widely distributed in nature as a large part of the Earth's surface is at temperatures around 0°C. These cold-loving microorganisms face the thermodynamic challenge to maintain enzyme-catalyzed reactions and metabolic rates compatible with sustained growth near or below the freezing point of pure water. Typically, the rate of a biochemical reaction decreases 2–3-fold when the temperature is lowered by 10°C.
