• The Swedish initiative to map all human proteins reaches half-way point

  Scientists in Sweden marked the half way point of a major, ground-breaking initiative to map every single protein in the human body. Once complete, the Human Protein Atlas will provide scientists with data which will help detect and treat some of the world’s most serious health problems such as canc 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

• The Porcine microRNAome is revealed

  Researchers from LC Sciences LLC and a collaboration of universities have established a porcine microRNAome, a complete catalog of all microRNAs expressed in the species Sus scrofa. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNA molecules known to control a wide array of cellular functions such as gr more

• Superior Transfection of Human Embryonic Stem Cells with FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent
  

  Gene manipulation techniques are potentially powerful tools in many applications for human embryonic stem (ES) cell research. Controlling expression levels of specific genes may improve the efficiency of differentiation induction. Cell types of interest may be collected using marker genes and antibiotic resistance genes. Tracking of ES cells derived after engraftment could be facilitated by tracer genes. It may also be possible to selectively destroy transplanted cells. more

• To Probe or Not to Probe
  

  In our efforts to measure the expression levels of the thyroid hormone receptor ß2 in small areas of mouse brain, we encountered primer-dimer prob­lems when using SYBR Green I assays. With the Universal ProbeLibrary and the LightCycler® 2.0 Instrument we were able to solve the primer-dimer problem, increase PCR efficiency, and continue our investigations. more

• Quantification of Zea mays mRNAs by Real-Time PCR Using the Universal ProbeLibrary
  

  The Universal ProbeLibrary (UPL) is a detection system for real-time PCR based on locked nucleic acid (LNA) probes. We tested the efficiency of the UPL for the quantification of maize transcripts on two detection platforms. The results indicate that the UPL is an attractive alternative to assays based on intercalating dyes or conventional probes. more
