Inside the Festival of Genomics
Last month, Promega UK joined the genomics community at the Festival of Genomics & Biodata at London ExCeL. Bringing together leading researchers, industry experts, and innovators, the event served as a hub for discussions on the latest breakthroughs.?
A huge thank you to everyone who connected with us! Missed the event? Don't worry—we offer a range of educational resources, curated by scientists, to keep you up to date.
Improved Live-Cell, Kinetic Analysis of HiBiT-Tagged Proteins with ViaScript? LgBiT mRNA Delivery System
HiBiT Tagging Technology enables sensitive quantification of endogenous protein abundance, making it useful for more physiologically relevant studies. However, there is a growing demand for live-cell, kinetic assays, and intracellular live-cell HiBiT assays also require cells to express intracellular LgBiT, which spontaneously interacts with HiBiT to generate NanoBiT? luciferase and produce a bioluminescent signal. ViaScript? LgBiT mRNA Delivery System was created to address this challenge, enabling consistent LgBiT expression across various cell types for reliable live-cell, kinetic HiBiT quantification.
Rapid, Same Day Legionella Testing with Promega’s New GoTme Day Legionella Testing with Promega’s New GoTaq? Legionella qPCR Kits
Promega’s GoTaq? Legionella qPCR Kits offer a fast, accurate, and reliable solution for detecting Legionella spp., including L. pneumophila. Designed for high sensitivity and specificity, these kits outperform traditional culture-based methods by delivering results in hours instead of days. They are compatible with standard qPCR instruments and can be paired with Promega’s Viability PCR Reagent System to differentiate between viable and non-viable bacteria, reducing false positives. The kits ensure cost-effective, high-quality Legionella testing for water monitoring labs.
TruTiter? Reagent Kit: Accurate AAV Genome Quantification—No DNase Needed!
Struggling with inconsistent AAV titers? Our new TruTiter? Reagent Kit simplifies AAV genome quantification by selectively amplifying DNA from intact capsids—no DNase step required. Reduce variability, streamline workflows, and ensure precise results for gene therapy research.

Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) Transform the Future of Life Science Research?
Artificial intelligence isn’t a new concept—its roots stretch back centuries. The term “artificial intelligence†was first coined in 1955 at a Dartmouth College workshop, now seen as the birthplace of AI research. But even before that, Alan Turing laid the foundation with his famous Turing Test, asking whether a machine could think like a human...
