Introduction
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 S more
Introduction
The purpose of the study was to screen sequence variations of the cytidine deaminase (CDA) gene in tumor samples. CDA plays a key role in the tumoral and hepatic catabolism and inactivation of gemcitabine, a nucleoside analog extensively used in chemotherapeutic treatment of solid tumor more
Introduction
Real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) is considered the method of choice for any experiments requiring sensitive, specific, and reproducible quantification of mRNA molecules of interest. It is an essential tool for basic research, molecular medicine, and biotechnology.
