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 ...

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 ...

The surge in genomics and proteomics research for disease diagnosis, drug discovery, and personalized medicine is a primary driver of the DNA microarray market. Applications in Disease Diagnostics: ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A multidisciplinary team of pharmaceutics and computer-science researchers at the University at Buffalo, one of very few teams in the nation applying DNA microarray technology in ...

Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:ILMN) today announced that it has begun shipping its new HumanOmni2.5-Quad DNA Analysis BeadChip (Omni2.5). This microarray contains millions of newly discovered genome-wide ...

Here we present a method for the fabrication of microarrays in which presynthesized oligonucleotides are ejected onto a glass surface by a Bubble Jet printing device. The oligonucleotides are then ...

Nitrogen fixation is an important process in biogeochemical cycles exclusively carried out by prokaryotes, mostly by an evolutionarily conserved nitrogenase protein complex, of which one of the ...

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 ...
