NIH creates nationwide network of molecular libraries screening centers
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) today announced it is awarding $88.9 million in grants to nine institutions over three years to establish a collaborative research network that will use high-tech screening methods to identify small molecules that can be used as research tools. Small molecules have great potential to help scientists in their efforts to learn more about key biological proces...Researchers use RNAi libraries to identify regulators of apoptosis and chemoresistance
When it comes to the deadly skin cancer melanoma, studying functional tissue rather than cell lines may better provide insight into the disease's development, according to new research from a Howard Hughes Medical Institute predoctoral fellow at Stanford University School of Medicine. Though multiple genetic alterations are associated with melanoma development, scientists have not been abl...New plant DNA libraries provides massive boost to world's plant researchers
Researchers at the University of Warwick's horticultural research arm Warwick HRI have created an extensive new range of libraries of plant DNA that will provide a massive boost to the world's plant researchers. The new collection of DNA libraries is the largest of its type in the world and will provide researchers with a unique resource. The Warwick researchers have set up a new spin out...Sub-plate for all libraries from OriGene Technologies
Description:The Sub-Plates are E.Coli glycerol stocks contained in standard 96-well microtiter plates. Each well contains 50 cDNA clones with approximately 5,000 clones per plate. After positive identification of the a master plate well, the corresponding subplate is screened with a single 96-well PCR to identify the positive well(s). Cells from a positive well are then plated on LB/Amp agar and the resultin...Functional Cloning Using ViraPort Retroviral cDNA Expression Libraries

During many experiments in molecular biology, the individual mRNA expression pattern of a cell is examined in order to investigate the reaction of a cell to exogenous influences such as viral infections or medical treatment. To allow unstable mRNA to be examined more thoroughly, it is converted to cDNA. If all iso...Assessing Gene Function with siRNA Libraries

As the problem of the chronically homeless mounts in the US, the public libraries in that country are slowly turning into de facto daytime shelters. // In bad weather -- hot, cold, or wet -- most of the homeless have nowhere to go but public places. The local shelters push them out onto the streets at six in the morning and, even when the weather is good, they are already...Canadian Health Libraries Association
