Ang Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS) ay binago ang forensic DNA analysis sa pamamagitan ng kakayahang suriin ng mga siyentipiko ang maraming DNA markers nang sabay-sabay at sa mas detalyadong paraan kumpara sa tradisyunal na pamamaraan. Gayunpaman, hindi pa rin malawak ang paggamit ng MPS sa mga bansa sa Timog-Silangang Asya.

Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has transformed forensic DNA analysis by allowing scientists to examine multiple DNA markers at the same time and in much greater detail than older methods. Even so, MPS is still not widely used in Southeast Asian countries. Researchers from the University of the Philippines Diliman – College of Science’s Natural Sciences Research Institute (UPD-CS NSRI) reviewed the use of MPS in forensic DNA laboratories across the region to identify the key challenges to its adoption.

Nagsulong ang mga scientist mula sa University of the Philippines–Diliman College of Science (UPD-CS) ng greener approach sa silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesis sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng gamma irradiation kasama ng natural na seaweed-derived biopolymer ι-carrageenan. Bagaman dati nang naiulat ang mga rutang gamma-radiolytic para sa pagbuo ng AgNP, ang mismong papel ng ι-carrageenan sa pag-stabilize at pag-impluwensya sa pagbuo ng nanoparticle sa ilalim ng proseso ng radiolysis ay nanatiling hindi pa ganap na nauunawaan.

The College of Science Office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs (OADAA) invites all newly enrolled graduate students to this semester's New Graduate Student Orientation on March 2, 2026 (Monday) 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the CS Admin Building Auditorium.

Nakita mo na ba ang mga malalaking tipak ng bato, ang ilan ay kasinglaki ng malaking trak, na nakakalat sa mabatong baybayin ng Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte? Ang mga dambuhalang bato ay makikitang nakapatong sa taas ng nakaangat na reef platform na malayo sa dagat. Pinapaniwalaan na ang mga ito ay bahagi or piraso ng isang sinaunang bahurang koral (ancient coral reef) na napunit at naihagis papaloob ng lupa, dala ng matitinding alon.

Large boulders, some weighing as much as a large truck, are scattered along the rocky coastline of Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte. These enormous boulders, which sit on an uplifted reef platform far from the sea, are not random. They are fragments of an ancient coral reef that were torn from the reef and hurled inland by extreme waves. This unusual sight piqued the curiosity of geologists from the University of the Philippines – Diliman College of Science’s National Institute of Geological Sciences (UPD-CS NIGS).
