Affymetrix, Inc. will host a workshop titled, “Transforming genomic selection in complex plant and animal genomes” at PAG XXII on Monday, January 13 in San Diego.


The workshop will feature key Affymetrix scientists as well as Dr. Klaus Wimmers, Professor of Genome Biology at the Leibinz Institute for Farm Animal Biology (Germany); Dr. Gary Barker of the University of Bristol (UK); and Dr. Alan L. Archibald of the Roslin Institute and the University of Edinburgh (UK). Topics will include gene expression and genotyping updates, analysis of porcine mRNAs and microRNAs, a SNP array for wheat, and high-density genotyping of Atlantic salmon.

The workshop will take place from 12:55 to 3:00 p.m. in Pacific Salon 3 at the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center.

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.Gene Expression and Molecular CloningMolecular cloning is a set of techniques that utilizes vectors to transfer recombinant DNA into host cells and is an essential tool for investigating the expression of genes and proteins in bacterial or mammalian cells. A variety of vectors optimized for gene cloning and expression in a range of host organisms are available, alongside competent cells for genetic replication. Here, you can explore a range of molecular tools, high-quality genomic and cDNA libraries, premade clones, transformation and transfection reagents and mutagenesis or gene expression detection assays and expression arrays.
