Reverse Capture Autoantibody Array Probes For Prostate-Cancer Proteins
October 10, 2006 12:20 pm | Articles | CommentsOncologists need a new test for prostate cancer the most common form of cancer diagnosed in American males over the age of 50. Any male tested for prostate cancer, though, knows that an oncologist can measure the level of prostate-specific antigen, or PSA.
Copy Number Analysis Software
October 10, 2006 10:50 am | Articles | CommentsArrayAssist Copy Number Software (Stratagene) is a guided workflow system that enables researchers to manipulate and analyze the massive data sets generated by chromosomal copy number microarrays.
Normalized Cancer Tissue cDNAs
October 10, 2006 10:47 am | Articles | CommentsTissueScan is a panel of normalized cDNAs from cancer tissues at various stages of progression. Scientists can quickly obtain a gene expression profile or a SNP profile across 200 cancer tissues using simple, real-time PCR with gene-specific or SNP-specific primers.

Rapid-Fire siRNA Sequencing
September 20, 2006 12:01 pm | Articles | CommentsIn 2002, RNA came out from under DNA's shadow with the discovery that a class of molecules called small RNAs control significant aspects of a gene's behavior; instead of coding for proteins, they control the transcription and translation of the RNAs that do.
Improving Quantification Accuracy For Western Blots
September 20, 2006 7:45 am | Articles | CommentsImaging systems used for Western blot analysis are often described as 'quantitative'. While it is true that the instrumentation used to image the blots does acquire signal in a quantitative way, data produced by these systems can only be quantitative if the signal generated by the chemistry is proportional to the amount of sample on the blot in a linear fashion.
Genotoxicity Screening Assay
September 20, 2006 7:34 am | Articles | CommentsUsing human cells, GreenScreen HC, an in vitro mammalian cell assay suitable for high-throughput screening, has a combination of sensitivity and specificity, making it an accurate early predictor of genotoxic carcinogenicity.
