Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. today announced GENEius Product Search, a tool available on the Thermo Scientific Dharmacon website that helps researchers in the field of RNAi technology easily select the most appropriate gene-specific products for their applications.

In a single search, the GENEius Product Search presents all relevant gene-specific RNAi products, greatly simplifying and accelerating the product selection and ordering process for applications such as gene silencing (siRNA and shRNA), microRNA (mimics and inhibitors) and qPCR detection (probe/primer assays).

To use the GENEius Product Search, customers simply enter a gene identifier (e.g., Reference Sequence Accession, gene ID, gene symbol, gene description, Sanger ID, accession or catalogue number) and check their species of interest (human, mouse and rat). Within seconds, gene-specific products are displayed in tabbed pages for RNAi, qPCR detection, transfection reagents, controls and ancillary reagents. Customers then simply browse through the products, click for further information or select ”Add to Cart” for quick and easy online ordering.

To experience how the GENEius Product Search makes product selection fast and easy, visit the Thermo Scientific Dharmacon website at the Company article page link top right of this page.

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.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.Consultancy ServicesLaboratory consultancy services are available for automated systems design, research and development, lab equipment procurement and lab equipment rental.DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations. Find the best DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment 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.
