Gene expression analysis is in an exciting period of growth—the discoveries, theories, and technological developments in the field almost seem to compete with each other to see which is the newest.
Copy number analysis is beginning to supplement or replace older forms of genomic analysis such as SNP analysis and microarray analysis. New discoveries in the field of gene copy number have revealed that in many cases the number of copies of a gene may be more significant than the presence or absence of...
Nanotechnology: the science of small. Can you imagine nanocars that drive with rotating buckyball wheels, delivering drugs or other reagents to specific parts of your brain? Though this isn’t possible yet, it is a scenario whose time will come. Already, nanotechnology researchers can design...
Hot on the heels of microarrays is digital gene expression for the analysis of the transcriptome—all the mRNA being expressed at a given time. But so much important work has already been done on microarrays, you might say, surely it wouldn’t pay to change platforms now.
“Every lab involved in utilizing Quantitative PCR for Gene Expression Analysis should consider implementing the NanoString nCounter System and Technology”, is what Dr. Eric Davidson from California Institute of Technology said about his lab’s experience with the newly launched NanoString Digital Gene Expression Analysis System.
Sean Ferree discusses gene expression analysis using the nCounter Analysis System, a novel digital technology that is based on direct multiplexed measurement.
Jan 22 2008 - Watch video: NanoString's core technology enables next generation digital gene expression analysis by creating many unique "molecular barcodes" and individually attaching them to different target specific probes. These unique barcodes provide a mechanism for identifying and quantitating hundreds of different individual gene transcripts in a single reaction.
