A flurry of induced pluripotent stem cell banks are coming online, but they face significant business challenges.
New Molecular Tools Revealing Mysteries Of The Mind

Sidebar: Society for Neuroscience NEW MESSENGERS: Caltech’s Erin Schuman and colleagues discovered that one form of nitric oxide is important to long-term potentiation. Can you recall where you were when you heard about the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger? Why is it that, almost universally, people can remember with vivid and instantaneous detail this tragic event when they can't recall what they had for dinner just days before? How are some memories indelibly hard-wired into o

Date: September 15, 1997 cDNA Library Kit Table and Species Chart Pre-made cDNA libraries and kits abound in the market to help you probe the secrets of gene regulation while minimizing the drudgery of cDNA library construction. The ability to analyze a cell's genetic read-out-to determine which of the 100,000 possible genes are actually being expressed in a cell or tissue-is to know what makes a cell what it is. This is a central issue in molecular biology. For decades, cDNA libraries-colle
Innovations Expand Lab Power, Uses Of PCR Technique
Ricki Lewis | Jul 25, 1993 | 8 min read
The gene amplification technique invented by genetics researcher Kary Mullis on a moonlit drive through the northern California hills a decade ago--the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-- continues to revolutionize the life sciences. Uses in molecular biology research and in diagnostic tests are proliferating, and PCR is even bringing a new molecular approach to such fields as paleontology and epidemiology. The following companies are among those supplying PCR-related products for the resear
Life Scientists Keep Georgia on Their Minds

Anne Whalen, a molecular biologist, had no job when she and her husband relocated to Georgia three years ago from Jackson Hole, Wyo., so he could take a position at an Atlanta-area biotechnology company. She figured it would take her a while to land a life science job as well, but the market surprised her. "I didn't expect to find as
Influential Consortium's cDNA Clones Praised As Genome Research Time-Saver

IMAGE group's DNA libraries are made freely available to other researchers, as long as they, too, pass on information to the public. In less than two years, a research initiative begun by four geneticists has grown from an ad hoc collaboration to an international cooperative effort to freely share complementary DNA (cDNA) clone libraries. To date, in excess of 100,000 clones from the Integrated Molecular Analysis of Genome Expression (IMAGE) Consortium have been sent to more than 40 facilities
DNA, RNA Probes Help Investigators Narrow The Search For Genes
Holly Ahern | Nov 26, 1995 | 10+ min read
For Genes Author: Holly Ahern For a geneticist, pinpointing a mutation in a human gene that might be responsible for an inherited disease can be likened to the proverbial search for a needle in a haystack. While mo-lecular biologists sift through the 3 billion base pairs in the human genome in search of disease-causing genes, other scientists choose to approach the problem from the perspective of the mouse, a model system for mammal research. Because mice and humans are members of the same gr
