The ability of microarrays to measure thousands of RNA transcripts at one time allows for the characterization of cells and tissues in greater depth than was previously possible, but has not yet led ...

Jonathan Weissman at the University of California, San Francisco wants to know how cells fold proteins into the right shapes, and he knocks down genes to find out. For that he uses massive RNA ...

RNA interference technology, which is used in cell biology, has revolutionized functional research of the gene products in the last ten years. Now researchers have developed a method which allows a ...

Interim Executive Director, Biodesign Institute Director, Biodesign Institute's Virginia G. Piper Center for Personalized Diagnostics; Virginia G. Piper Chair of Personalized Medicine; Pr ...

A recent study highlights how DNA microarray technology enables high-throughput gene analysis, supporting variation detection, expression ...

A protein microarray consists of the immobilization of proteins in organized rows and columns upon a support structure. The structure of the protein microarray allows for high-throughput analysis of ...

Yes, many are attracted to next-generation sequencing, but loyalty to chip-based phenotyping has its rewards, particularly in screens of large sample sets. The microarray, the legacy technology for ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, short non-coding RNAs that bind to specific messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and regulate gene expression either by degradation or by translational inhibition of the mRNA. miRNAs ...

At CombiMatrix Corp., a diagnostic laboratory in Irvine, white-cloaked techs sit hunched over microscopes while their gloved hands deftly pick through the remains of lost pregnancies, pulling the ...

Curious about how to detect and characterize tumor-derived biomarkers from liquid biopsy samples? Genomics-based methods now provide access to more molecular data than ever before, delivering cancer ...

Twenty pneumococcal serotyping methods were put to the test. Medical doctors express concern about healthcare quality measures in the United States. Many recently developed pneumococcal serotyping ...
