To test the hypothesis that the human genome project will uncover many genes not previously discovered by sequencing of expressed sequence tags (ESTs), we designed and produced a set of microarrays ...

BOSTON--Gene expression microarrays have made a profound impact on biomedical research. The current expectation is that this technology will extend its current role as an experimental tool for basic ...

In several fields including environmental monitoring, food manufacturing, and biomedical research, the ability to perform accurate measurements is key to a variety of studies. Whilst it is sufficient ...

The DNA marketplace is changing: the technology is maturing, whole human genome arrays, as well as those of model organisms, are beginning to make it onto the market, and researchers have more choices ...

Nature uses a common framework when building organisms as different as yeast, worms, fruit flies, mice, and humans. This makes it possible for scientists to learn about how our own genes work by ...

Reading the fluorescent signals on microarrays that give a glimpse into cellular gene expression is typically the job of laser scanners. This technology works well, but lasers can be very cumbersome ...

The enormous potential of miRNAs is driving new technologies for research, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications. miRNAs, a class of small noncoding RNAs of 19–30 nucleotides in length, regulate ...

Genomatix Software GmbH today announced that it has achieved GeneChip-compatible TM status for several products with the Affymetrix Inc. (Nasdaq: AFFX) GeneChip® microarray platform and that it has ...

When it comes to enzymes, protein abundance does not necessarily translate into protein activity: Post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation can dramatically alter enzyme function.

Soil microbial communities are responsible for important physiological and metabolic processes. In the last decade soil microorganisms have been frequently analysed by cultivation-independent ...
