Celebrate Plant a Flower Day! Did you know that planting indigenous flowers in your garden not only makes your home look great but can also support local biodiversity? Indigenous plants are perfectly adapted to their environment, providing food and shelter to pollinators and

Inside the CPGR Academy: Hands-On Training in Advanced Genomics! DNA extraction, PCR, qPCR, and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). This intensive training ensures that future scientists and researchers are equipped with practical skills that drive innovation in genomics and

Genotype vs Phenotype: What’s the Difference? Your genotype is your genetic code, the instructions you inherit. But your phenotype, how those instructions are expressed, depends on both your genes and your environment. Together, they tell the fascinating story of who you are.

This Human Genome Month, let’s take a journey through the incredible milestones that have shaped genomics - and imagine the possibilities for the future. From cracking the code of life to transforming medicine and conservation, the human genome is rewriting the way we understand

We’re proud to announce the establishment of a new EAGR lab at the University of Fort Hare - the latest milestone in our mission to expand access to genomics infrastructure across South Africa. Watch the highlights and hear from the community shaping the future of research at

This week, the DIPLOMICS team joined a High Molecular Weight DNA Extraction Workshop at CenGen, where we got hands-on with one of our samples for the 1KSA project - Erica verticillata, an iconic South African plant. Huge thanks to the trainers and fellow attendees for a rewarding

What does research infrastructure have to do with Earth Day? Everything. Without the right tools, labs, and skills, scientists can’t gather the data we need to monitor biodiversity, model climate shifts, or protect ecosystems. This Earth Day, we celebrate the quiet enablers of

From the quiet rhythm of your heartbeat to the colour of a coral reef, DNA holds the blueprint for life as we know it. Across every genome sequenced, every mutation mapped, and every ecosystem explored, lies a chance to decode the past and design a more informed, equitable

Did you know we can sequence the DNA of species that went extinct thousands of years ago? From Neanderthals to mammoths, ancient DNA reveals how these species lived, adapted, and evolved, and even how their legacy lives on in us.

Biology is in the age of big data. But are we ready to handle it? From sequencing to proteomics, scientists are generating massive datasets. But without bioinformatics, most of that data is unusable. At CLARITY, we offer expert guidance, analysis plans & visualisation strategies.

DIPLOMICS is proud to sponsor the Illumina Library Prep & Sequencing Workshop @krisp in Durban! Last week, 15 participants got hands-on with Illumina tech—prepping libraries and loading samples onto the MiSeq. This week, they’re diving into bioinformatics, learning to

It’s World Bee Day! Bees don’t just make honey. They pollinate over 75% of global food crops, support ecosystems, and are key indicators of environmental health. But bee populations are in crisis. Omics science is helping researchers understand why, and how we can protect them.

The first-ever 1KSA Symposium brought together sample contributors, researchers, and labs to reflect on a year of proudly South African genomic science. From biodiversity to genome assembly, this is how we’re building a national genomic resource. Watch the highlights:

This week we celebrated the International Day for Biological Diversity. Biodiversity isn’t just about counting species, it’s about understanding how life works at every level. From ecosystems to genes, each layer plays a role in resilience, health, and survival. At DIPLOMICS,

Today we honour the strength, diversity and potential of Africa, from its rich cultural heritage to its extraordinary biodiversity and growing scientific landscape. Africa is not only the cradle of humankind, it’s also a hub of genomic richness and innovation. From indigenous

On 15 May 2025, we hosted the first annual 1KSA Symposium, a day of presentations, discussions, and insights into South Africa’s most ambitious biodiversity genomics initiative. If you weren’t able to join us in person, you can now watch all the talks and highlights from the day

From biodiversity loss to pollution and climate change, the environmental challenges we face are complex. But so is the science that helps us respond. On this World Environment Day, we look at how Omics science is giving us powerful tools to study, and protect, our planet.

South Africa’s coastlines are home to some of the most unique marine life on Earth, and we’re only just beginning to understand it at a genetic level. This World Oceans Day, we’re spotlighting a few of the marine species that have been sequenced by the 1KSA Project, contributing

A single donation can save up to three lives. This World Blood Donor Day, we celebrate the everyday heroes who give generously and without expectation. Innovations in Omics are redefining transfusion safety, helping us detect pathogens earlier and monitor blood product

Today’s students are tomorrow’s scientists, innovators, and changemakers. On Youth Day, we honour South Africa’s young people, and recommit to providing them with access to the training, mentorship and tools they need to lead the future of science. Through our training
