Product news

Bioo Scientific, an Austin, TX-based biotechnology company was honored yesterday with the 2013 General Motors Technology Award for Small Businesses at the 13th Annual Greater Austin Business Awards.

The Austin Chamber of Commerce puts on the annual Greater Austin Business Awards Competition to recognize excellence in business in the region. This year’s Awards banquet was held at the Hilton Austin on September 4th. The General Motors Technology Award recognizes a company in any industry that has developed an innovative product that creates significant new opportunities.

Bioo Scientific was chosen to receive the award for its cutting edge and patent pending RNA interference delivery technologies. Bioo Scientific’s innovative products are designed to deliver small RNAs capable of modulating gene expression into specific animal organs. These products are enabling researchers to not only understand the function of genes in plants and animals, but also can potentially be used in combination with miRNA and RNAi based therapeutic agents for treating human disease. As our understanding of the role and impact of RNA biology in health and disease is increasing, Bioo Scientific strives to be at the forefront in helping the life science industry take full advantage of these discoveries.

Bioo Scientific is focused on developing new technologies to support life science research. This award highlights Bioo Scientific’s commitment to continuous innovation in the life sciences.

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. Find the best gene expression and molecular cloning products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.RNA InterferenceRNA interference (RNAi) uses siRNA or miRNA for transcriptional silencing, gene knockdown and regulation of gene expression. RNAi requires chemical synthesis, introduction of DNA vectors into cells, an assay of RNAi effects and RNAi quantification or analysis. Consider target sequence selection, reagent preparation, controls, high specificity and effectiveness and low non-specific gene knockdown.RNAimiRNA
