A New Application for your Genotyping Analyses: LabCollector SNP Manager
16 Oct 2014Product news
AgileBio announces the release of a new add-on for LabCollector called SNP Manager. This add-on is dedicated to the treatment of SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) genotyping workflows. Users can generate picking lists and instructions files for their tube pickers (Tube sorter and Floyd 2D) and genotyping process (Fluidigm EP1) machines.
Combined with LabCollector Samples and Documents modules, the SNP Manager add-on allows users to manage tubes and plates containing markers: storage location, stock quantity, status (available, ordered…) and suppliers ordering.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.SNPs TechnologySingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are individual base variations in a DNA sequence. SNPs are used in research to study predispositions to disease and drug discovery. Products for studying single nucleotide polymorphisms include SNP arrays and detection systems to detect polymorphisms, SNP typing systems for genotyping DNA, and PCR to amplify specific SNPs.Discovery SoftwareComputational techniques used in both the chemistry and biology aspects of drug discovery, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Software is used for analysis of pathways, target identification, genomics, proteomics, modelling, lead identification, compound analysis and drug modelling among many others. Software PlatformsSoftware platforms are useful for various stages of laboratory experiments from data collection to data storage and processing. For instance lab software is available for system control, data management, data analysis and qualification / validation.SNP Genotyping
