Nucleic acid extraction from blood
14 September, 2005Fuji Photo Film has entered the market for nucleic acid extraction with the QuickGene-810. It consists of a compact, space-saving tabletop device (40 x 45 cm) and matching kits for extraction of DNA and RNA. Using this system, DNA can be obtained from whole blood in just six minutes (for eight samples).
RNAi libraries
10 August, 2005Sigma-Aldrich has introduced the Mission RNAi product line, including the first available formats for the RNAi Consortium (TRC) shRNA libraries.
Nucleic acid purification
13 May, 2005Invitrogen supplies a full range of products for nucleic acid purification - including DNA, RNA and fragment purification and purification/clean-up - for basic research clinical diagnostic, forensic or other needs.
Fast DNA extraction
16 August, 2004Sigma-Aldrich has introduced a tissue PCR kit that contains reagents to rapidly extract genomic DNA from tissue or cells and amplify targets of interest by PCR. Extract-N-Amp Tissue PCR kit (Product number XNAT) offers a single-step extraction of tissue genomic DNA in less than 15 minutes.
De novo sequencing of tryptic peptides
08 May, 2003De novo sequencing has evolved to become a very useful tool for the complete elucidation of protein primary structures - especially in case of an unknown proteome. In a recent contest, MALDI-TOF/TOF MS has shown its huge potential for this task
DNA transcription is tuned to specific cells
08 November, 2001Researchers have found a new example of how the machinery that controls the transcription of DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA) is tailored to specific cells or genes
