Image: RNA microarray analysis: heat maps of gene expression values show how experimental conditions influenced production (expression) of miRNA for a set of genes. Green indicates reduced expression. Cluster analysis has placed a group of down regulated genes in the upper left corner (Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons).

MicroRNA Profiling Shows Promise as Diagnostic and Prognostic Tool for Bladder Cancer

Profiling of 15 microRNAs from bladder tissue showed with 100% accuracy whether the cells were normal or malignant,  while the determination of only two miRNAs could predict how well the patient would be able to defend against bladder cancer. More...

Image: Eprobe, a highly efficient and reliable fluorescent probe for PCR DNA amplification techniques and DNA analysis in hybridization experiments, has been developed by researchers from the Japanese firms RIKEN and K.K. DNAFORM. This technology will enable the development of new, advanced assays for DNA-based genetic testing and help to bring the benefits of genome-wide sequencing studies to patients in the clinic (Photo courtesy of RIKEN).

New Dual-Functional Fluorescent Probe for DNA Hybridization and Melting Point Analysis

Japanese researchers have described a new approach for combining real-time PCR amplification and melting curve analysis in a single-tube reaction, which provides a powerful means for new mutation detection assays. More...
