• Scripps research team wins $5.1 million to develop DNA sequencing technology

  Scripps Research Institute Professor Reza Ghadiri, Ph.D., has been awarded a four-year, $5.1 million grant as part of a National Institutes of Health (NIH) initiative to spur the development of the next generation of DNA sequencing technologies, which could enable biomedical researchers and health c more

• BioEquality: Improving the Safety of Gene Technologically Manufactured Biopharmaceuticals

  Within the ZIM funded BioEquality project the Frauenhofer Institute SCAI, the A&M STABTEST GmbH and the MassMap GmbH & Co. KG will develop a software for the automated analysis of the quality of Biopharmaceuticals and the equivalence of Biosimilars. Since the market release of Humulin (human Insuli more

• NYU Langone scientists are first to sequence the genomes of 2 ant species

  Scientists have finally sequenced the entire genome of an ant, actually two very different species of ant, and the insights gleaned from their genetic blueprints are already yielding tantalizing clues to the extraordinary social behavior of ants. A result of a collaborative research project led by D more

• Genotypes in Smokers: Correlations with Smoking Behavior
  

  Smoking behavior is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Moreover, smoking initiation and smoking persistence have a heritability of at least 50%. A large body of work has been dedicated to associating multiple genetic markers of neurobiological pathways previously linked to addiction and smoking such as the central dopaminergic, serotoninergic, and nicotinergic pathways with different aspects of smoking behavior. In order to investigate the feasability of future genetic analyses, we genotyped 14 SNPs in 288 samples of addicted smokers using the LightCycler® 480 System with HybProbe assays. more

• Metagenomics Analysis Using the Genome Sequencer FLX System
  

  The Genome Sequencer FLX System from 454 Life Sciences and Roche Applied Science is a versatile sequencing platform suitable for a wide range of applications, including de novo sequencing and assembly of genomic DNA, transcriptome sequencing, small RNA analysis, and amplicon sequencing. The Genome Sequencer FLX is built upon 454 Sequencing technology that enables long read lengths and very high single-read accuracy. One application in which the technology is accelerating the field's understanding is metagenomics. more

• The New Genome Sequencer FLX System
  

  In 2005, the Genome Sequencer 20 System was introduced into the global life science market. Based on the revolutionary 454 sequencing technology, this system is able to generate hundreds of thousands of sequence reads in a few hours at a fraction of costs compared with the traditional Sanger technology. more
