FSU biologists describe key role of signal-transcribing gene during cell cycle
Study in Oct. 1 'Development' shows when, where Alzheimer's, some cancers and genetic ills beginT. Biologists at Florida State University have uncovered the pivotal role of a gene called "Cut" that acts as a sort of middleman in cell-to-cell communication. A DNA-binding protein, Cut interprets and transcribes the developmental signals sent through the "Notch" gene, which regulates a layer...Modification of program enables prediction of gene transcription
A modification to an "ace" gene prediction program by computer scientists at Washington University in St. Louis now enables scientists to predict the very beginnings of gene transcription start sites and where the first splice occurs thereby defining the first exon of the gene. The modification to the gene prediction software TWINSCAN is called N-SCAN. Michael Brent, Ph.D. professor of com...NYU chemists use computer simulation to enhance understanding of DNA transcription
New York University chemists have employed a computer simulation whose results have enhanced scientific understanding of the DNA transcription process. The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, appears in the June 7 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Previous research has indicated that chromatin--a chromosome's substance consisting of histone prote...Solexa and collaborating scientists illuminate the small RNA component of the transcriptome
Solexa, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLXA) today announced that its researchers in collaboration with the Delaware Biotechnology Institute and the University of Delaware reported the most comprehensive analysis to date of the small RNA component of the transcriptome. The research, "Elucidation of the Small RNA Component of the Transcriptome," was published in the September 2, 2005 issue of the peer-reviewed jou...Mammalian Transcriptome Mapped
The FANTOM Consortium for Genome Exploration Research Group, a large international collection of scientists that includes researchers at The Scripps Research Institute's Florida campus, is reporting the results of a massive multi-year project to map the mammalian "transcriptome" in this week's issue of the journal Science. The transcriptome, or transcriptional landscape as it is sometimes...Thermostable dUTPase from GenScript Corporation
Description:Thermostable dUTPase The thermostable dUTPase(pyrococcus fruriosus) maximizes the efficiency of high-fidelity PCR (using proofreading DNA polymerases). It removes contaminating dUTP present in PCR reactions and dNTP solutions. The presence of dUTPase in a proofreading DNA polymerase reaction can prevent dUTP misincorporation by maintaining dUTP levels below their inhibitory concentrations...GCpro Taq DNA Polymerase Complete System from GenScript Corporation
Description:GCpro Taq DNA Polymerase is a versatile and easy-to use enzyme, with powerful advantages for all PCR applications. GCpro Taq DNA Polymerase is prepared from a recombinant clone expressed in E. coli, containing the DNA polymerase I gene from Thermococcus litoralis. The enzyme includes a highly processive 5'-3' DNA polymerase activity. Its inherent 3'-5' proofreading activity results in a greatly i...M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase from USB Corp.
Description:Source: E. coli strain containing an overproducing clone of M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase. 10 kb, may be synthesized. M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase has a much lower RNase H activity than AMV Reverse Transcriptase resulting in high yields of full l...Control RT-PCR Primers for Human Gene Transcripts with Varying Abundance
Stratagene We introduce six pairs of control RT-PCR primers that are designed todetect specific human gene transcripts with various expression levels. Theseprimer sets provide insight into whether cDNA synthesis has been effective forall ab...GeneChip Sample Cleanup Module for cleanup of cDNA and in vitro transcribed cRNA
A crucial step in gene expression analysis is target labeling. To improve the critical steps in the target-labeling process, QIAGEN has developed the GeneChip Sample Cleanup Module specifically for use with Affymetrix GeneChip expression arrays. The GeneChip Sample Cleanup Module was developed as part of an on...Suggested applications for reverse transcriptases

Biological chemists at the University of north Carolina at Chapel Hill, state about the discovery of how living organisms convert genetic instructions into action. The UNC scientists have found a previously unknown chemical site on a key enzyme that regulates production of the genetic messenger known as RNA.// When the chemical site is occupied, it markedly speeds up the process by...Identifying brain lesions with impaired consciousness
According to a new study it is indicative that systolic blood pressure is a good indicator for diagnosing brain lesions in patients with impaired consciousness. This means doctors may now have a better way// to estimate patients, as opposed to using expensive and time-consuming imaging technology. Researchers studied the vital signs of 450 patients who were admitted to an emergency roo...Full time workers are less health conscious than part time workers
Full time employees may be less health conscious and may be spending less time daily in exercise than part time //workers. New research suggests that working full time leads to a sedentary life style that may be harmful in the long term. People who work full time have less time for leisure, which is generally spend in watching television, play video games or sit in front of the compute...DVM-4300T Transcranial Doppler

Description:Endoscopic CycloPhotocoagulation (ECP) is a surgical approach to glaucoma management that employs light, endoscopy and visualized laser application. The ciliary body (which produces aqueous humour) is viewed by the surgeon, from the anterior or posterior segment, through the endoscope in real time. The target tissues are easily and accurately identified utilizing endoscopy. This allows discrete t...ZODIAC - MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION
Description:Zodiac offers end to end transcription services. Zodiac offers two convenient dictation options. Dictations can be either submitted over the phone via toll-free line that you can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week or they can be recorded on a digital handheld recorder and can be transmitted electronically to us....ZyDoc® e-Transcription Solutions
