Unique library of plant genes germinates, takes root at UNC
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's newest "library" is not the kind that will entice an average book lover, but it eventually will please thousands of plant scientists around the world. Through such researchers' work, it will undoubtedly contribute to improving crops that humans around the planet depend on every day, its developers say. Named Phytome, the unique library is a...Free access to a digital library for developing countries
As of 2006 more than 130 environmental journals from the scientific publisher Springer will be part of the initiative Online Access to Research in the Environment (OARE), a digital library for developing countries. Public and non-profit institutions in underdeveloped nations in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and Eastern Europe will have free access to the peer-reviewed scientific lite...Bacteria could make new library of cancer drugs that are too complex to create artificially
Researchers at the University of Warwick are examining a way of using bacteria to manufacture a new suite of potential anti-cancer drugs that are difficult to create synthetically on a lab bench. This group of antibiotics has stimulated much recent interest as they can be used to target and k...Finding the right mix: A biomaterial blend library
From dental implants to hip replacements, biomaterials have become big business. But scientists pursuing this modern medical revolution share a basic challenge: biocompatibility. How will a biomaterial on the lab bench actually work inside the human body? Will a patient accept the new material or suffer an inflammatory response? And can that material survive in a human's complex system? T...Rapid-Screen Arrayed cDNA Library Panels Master Plates -Human Placenta from OriGene Technologies
Description:The Rapid-Screen cDNA Library Panels were designed for full-length gene cloning and require just three sets of PCRs to identify the desired cDNA clone. The first PCR analysis is performed in a 96-well "Master Plate," where each well contains plasmid DNA from 5,000 clones. Having identified the positive well(s) by gel electrophoresis of the reaction products, the second PCR analysis is carried out...Rapid-Screen Arrayed cDNA Library Panels Master Plates -Human Heart from OriGene Technologies

High-quality short interfering RNA (siRNA) from QIAGEN allows efficient gene silencing in eukaryotic cell culture by targeting complementary endogenous mRNA. This effect, termed RNA interference (RNAi), enables targeted gene silencing in functional genomics studies. Now, QIAGEN offers a custom siRNA oligonucleotide syn...Custom and library siRNA for efficient gene silencing

An ayurveda library with a collection of nearly 50,000 books, including old and rare manuscripts on the ancient Indian art of healing, is coming up here. // To be built at the National Ayurveda Institute at a cost of over Rs.20 million, it will be one of the biggest ayurveda libraries in India. It will house national and international books, journals and research papers and provide exhau...Library Of Brains To Aid Study of Brain Development In Children
Scientists today offered their first insights at research on a group of "super-healthy" children from six U.S. cities whose brains will serve as models of typical childhood development. Initial results from the National Institutes of Health study suggest that healthy children perform better on cognitive tests than researchers previously thought - and this was particularly true among c...
