Figure 1: (A) Flowchart depicting the algorithm used for developing genome-directed primers from bacterial genomes. To test the usefulness of the mtGDPs for in vivo gene expression analysis, we asked ...

Researchers have invented a technique in which DNA assays -- the key to personalized medicine -- can be read and evaluated with no need of elaborate chemical labeling or sophisticated instrumentation.

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was developed to identify pathogenic DNA copy-number changes (e.g., duplications, deletions) on a genome-wide scale, and to map these changes to genomic ...

Microarray Market Is Growing as Applications for Diagnostics and Research Are Realized Although DNA microarrays are just beginning to be investigated for diagnostics, they are becoming key tools for ...

When Nanogen was started in the early 1990s, its scientists came up with an idea: Make a microarray using an electric field-based sorting mechanism, according to cofounder Michael Heller. "It didn't ...

In each type of cell, like a muscle cell or a skin cell, different genes are expressed (turned on) or silenced (turned off). If the cells that are turned on mutate, they could—depending on what role ...

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/466nfj/dna_microarray) has announced the addition of the "DNA Microarray ...

BERKELEY, CA — The dream of personalized medicine — in which diagnostics, risk predictions and treatment decisions are based on a patient's genetic profile — may be on the verge of being expanded ...

Based on electrostatic repulsion — in which objects with the same electrical charge repel one another — the technique is relatively simple and inexpensive to implement, and can be carried out in a ...
