• High-Throughput Analysis Using the Novel LightCycler® 1536 Real-Time PCR System
  

  An important trend in biological and biochemical analysis over the past 15 years has been miniaturization and parallelization of analytical procedures. Large-scale high-throughput analysis of gene expression or genetic polymorphisms is an essential element of modern functional genomics, where individual samples are screened against many thousands of target genes. According to its superior sensitivity and accuracy, qPCR is a well-established gold standard for precise profiling of gene expression levels or genotyping of known SNPs more

• Cytokine Quantification in Drug Development
  

  Immuno-PCR (IPCR) and ElectroChemiLuminescence (ECL) are technologies for improved performance of immunoassays. The specific advantages of the different technologies, using enzymatic or electrical signal amplification, allow for tailored assay design and address several specific challenges, such as maximum sensitivity up to 1 fg/ml target cytokine, simultaneous detection of multiple antigens, and high robustness against biological matrices more

• A High-Throughput Experimental Tool for Studying Gene Pathways
  

  The post-genome era has lead to great advances in high-throughput genomics studies. Genomic approaches such as microarray expression analyses and Chromatin Immuno-Precipitation on Chip (ChIP-chip) transcription factor binding assays have yielded new discoveries and insights into genetic pathways. These technologies provide valuable observational data but do not identify the functional connections within networks or explain the mechanism of gene regulation. Reporter gene based experiments like functional promoter assays provide an important additional layer of data for understanding mechanisms of regulation in genetic networks. Efficient and reproducible transfection methods are a prerequisite for all of these assays involving transfections. more

• Assembling the 20 Gb white spruce (Picea glauca) genome from whole-genome shotgun sequencing data

  White spruce (Picea glauca) is a dominant conifer of the boreal forests of North America, and providing genomics resources for this commercially valuable tree will help improve forest management and conservation efforts. Sequencing and assembling the large and highly repetitive spruce genome though more

• From Integrative Genomics to Therapeutic Targets

  Combinatorial approaches that integrate conventional pathology with genomic profiling and functional genomics have begun to enhance our understanding of the genetic basis of breast cancer. These methods have identified key genotypic–phenotypic correlations in different breast cancer subtypes that ha more

• Comparative genomics analysis in Prunoideae to identify biologically relevant polymorphisms

  Summary Prunus is an economically important genus with a wide range of physiological and biological variability. Using the peach genome as a reference, sequencing reads from four almond accessions and one sweet cherry cultivar were used for comparative analysis of these three Prunus species. Ref more
