Taking The Measure Of The Message
Laura De Francesco | Nov 22, 1998 | 9 min read
Date: November 23, 1998Product Comparison Getting a measure of even a single RNA species has never been easy. Every few years, a new technique comes along--Northerns, ribonuclease protection assays, RT-PCR--that makes the task only incrementally easier. But a quantum leap in technology took place just a few years ago with the introduction of cDNA arrays, and suddenly not just one but hundreds to thousands of target nucleic acids can be analyzed simultaneously and precisely. Since then, array te

Oligos To Go! : Purveyors of Custom Oligos
Jim Kling | Mar 29, 1998 | 7 min read
Date: March 30, 1998 Author: Jim Kling Table of Vendors So--the boss calls you into her office and tells you it's time to find another supplier of oligonucleotides. The custom house you've been using just went out of business, or maybe your team is preparing to delve into a new research project that calls for oligos. You scan the ads in several journals and do a quick internet search. Before you know it you've got a 'short' list of 50-100 suppliers. Wading through a sea of suppliers to find th
Bioterrorism Research: New Money, New Anxieties
John Dudley Miller | Apr 6, 2003 | 8 min read
Ned Shaw US scientists have reason to feel both heady and scared. The federal government recently released unprecedented billions of dollars to fund bioterrorism research. Yet, the merits of this sudden shift in focus are being debated, and some worry that the money will be squandered or wasted. "I have been really very upset by the focus on bioterrorism," says Stanley Falkow, professor of microbiology and immunology and of medicine at Stanford University. "Everybody's talking about it, but th
Going Micro: Imaging Devices to Benefit Both Mouse and Biologist
Eugene Russo | Oct 25, 1998 | 8 min read
Mice everywhere are breathing a collective sigh of relief. Soon, far fewer small laboratory animals will be routinely sacrificed to allow researchers to observe the after-effects of gene mutations or other experimental manipulations. Instead, investigators will be able to track the implications of those changes in living specimens in exquisite detail and for extended periods of time, thus painting a fuller, more accurate picture of what's going on and why. At least, that's the likely scenario i
