Multiplex PCR is an advantageous technique used in PCR applications to amplify multiple targets in a single reaction. As useful as it is, this technique presents a new set of challenges that further complicates PCR setup. For example, reactions are more prone to off-target amplifications such as mis-priming and primer dimer due to the increased number of primer pairs. Furthermore, preferential amplification of certain targets leads to an unequal distribution of amplicon products, making quantifi

Hot Start dNTPs - A Novel Tool for Controlled Nucleotide Incorporation in PCR

PCR is a widely used scientific tool employed by a variety of applications. Various Hot Start technologies have already been developed using modified PCR components to increase specificity of a reaction. Recently developed CleanAmpTM dNTPs are modified nucleoside triphosphates with a thermolabile 3’-tetrahydrofuranyl protecting group that is released at higher temperatures. These modified dNTPs prevent low temperature primer extension, which can often be a significant problem in PCR. At higher t

AUDIT OF THE FOLLOW UP OF CHILDREN WITH LD AND EPILEPSY IN NEWCASTLE CTLD (COMMUNITY TEAM FOR LEARNING DISABILITIES)
Dr.Andrew Ntanda. Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Trust

I would be grateful if you could consider my brief paper for publication. I have had the opportunity to present it as a poster at the Annual ILAE-UK chapter meeting which concluded on the 7/10/09. It focuses on Children with Learning disability and Epilepsy and the standards of their care and follows up under a Child and Adolescent Mental Health/ Learning disability consultant in an outpatient setting.

Our gene expression profiling strategy High Performance Chip Data Analysis (HPCDA) was improved with a method for quantifying the quality of different gene lists (GLs) with the new Gene List Significance Index (GLSI). With GLSI it is possible to decide which of two different extracted GLs has highest fraction of true positives, of high fold change or low p-value genes. With GLSI we could empirically optimize HPCDA-Score for ranking genes.

A simple, fast and quantitative single-step dead-cell indicator for flow cytometry
Jixiang Liu, Jolene Bradford, Chris Langsdorf. life technologies

We have evaluated a series of new compounds for dead cell stain and identified a new product, SYTOX® AADvancedTM dead cell stain, which demonstrates improved properties over 7-AAD. These properties make the SYTOX® AADvancedTM dead cell stain a simple, fast and quantitative single-step no-wash dead-cell indicator as well as ideal for use in multicolor application requiring DNA content.

Nucleic Acid Reagents and Experimental Results in the NCBI Probe Database

Five years ago, the NCBI Probe database (ProbeDB) was established to provide a centralized archive of molecular probes used in biomedical applications. Currently ProbeDB contains around 10 million probes of 65 types including gene silencing agents, in situ hybridization probes, and probes for variation analysis and genome mapping. Presently, ProbeDB is the largest and most extensive database of this type available in public domain.
