Evaluation of Candidate Reference Genes for Gene Expression NormalizationStudy performed in Brassica juncea using real time quantitative RT-PCR.
Reliable and Rapid Characterization of Functional FCN2 Gene Variants Reveals Diverse Geographical PatternsIn this study, scientists genotyped and characterized four FCN2 functional SNP variants in West Africans, South Americans, South East Asians from Vietnam and Caucasians from Germany using an available rapid, reliable and cost effective FRET-RTPCR methodology.
The Potential of TaqMan Array Cards for Detection of Multiple Biological Agents by Real-Time PCRThe TaqMan Array Card architecture, normally used for gene expression studies, was evaluated for its potential to detect multiple bacterial agents by real-time PCR.
Selection of Suitable Reference Genes for RT-qPCR Analyses in CyanobacteriaIn this work we have validated candidate reference genes for accurate normalization of RT-qPCR data in cyanobacteria. Several genes were selected and their transcription analyzed in three morphological distinct organisms.
Dr. Derek Wildman Completes Genome Sequence of Great Ape Living With HumansA Wayne State University School of Medicine researcher is one step closer to understanding the genetic basis that enable bonobos to learn language, play music and use rudimentary tools.
DNA Sequencing Lays Foundation for Personalized Cancer TreatmentScientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis are using powerful DNA sequencing technology to identify mutations at the root of a patient's tumor and to map the genetic evolution of disease and monitor response to treatment.
Complete Genomics Now Accepts DNA Obtained From Saliva for Whole Human Genome SequencingFurther expansion of service offerings and collaboration with DNA Genotek allows more researchers with saliva samples access to highly accurate sequencing data.
ACMG Releases Policy Statement on Genomic SequencingACMG Policy Statement titled "Points to Consider in the Clinical Application of Genomic Sequencing" outlines recommended principles as genome-scale DNA sequencing begins to be applied in the care of patients.
Comparison of Real-Time Quantitative PCR and Culture for the Diagnosis of Emerging RickettsiosesIsolation of Rickettsia species from skin biopsies may be replaced by PCR. In this stidy, scientists evaluated culture sensitivity compared to PCR based on sampling delay and previous antibiotic treatment.
Stanford Scientist Omics Profile used to Discover, Track his Diabetes OnsetResearchers also spied on Dr Snyder's immune system and watched it battle viral infections.
