Value of qPCR in the Next Generation Sequencing Era
Next generation sequencing (NGS), such as Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq), provides a high throughput approach for DNA sequencing and gene expression analysis. It is rapidly advancing our knowledge on almost all aspects of genetic research and shedding
Primary Neurons vs Neuronal Cell Lines
Neuronal cell lines are commonly used for in vitro neurobiology studies because they are more easily transfected compared to primary neurons and they proliferate, whereas primary neurons do not. Neuronal cell lines can be induced to differentiate into neuron-like cells,
Aging and Telomere Length Quantification by qPCR
Aging is a time-dependent decline of the body’s functional capabilities and is an inevitable course of life (as shown in the image below, extracted from the Wall Street Journal). The rate of aging though is highly variable among individuals.
World’s First Pseudogene Transcription Analysis qPCR Kits
Pseudogenes have garnered substantial interest in current cell biology and pathology studies, as their transcription has been shown to be much more common and functionally important than previously thought. Pseudogene transcription analysis has garnered substantial interest in current cell biology
Welcome to the 3rd Dimension
Cell culturing is a widely used technique to grow cells outside of their natural environment using artificial environments and controlled conditions that has become indispensable to scientific research. The applications of cell culturing are innumerable and there are many ways
