Definition: A microarray is a small, flat substrate carrying an ordered grid of microscopic probe features, each containing a known biological molecule, that is used to measure many molecular targets ...

Understanding gene expression within the body has been a boon for 21st century biology and therapeutics, but most discoveries that use these technologies only focus on one organ or one small area of ...

Maggie Clevenger, a staff scientist in the lab of UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering Assoc. Prof. Nicolas Chevrier, is the first author of a paper outlining a new technique to prepare ...

Figure 1: RNA-seq data uses short reads of mRNA which is free of intronic non-coding DNA. These reads must then be aligned back to the reference genome. Credit: Technology Networks. Early RNA-seq ...

We are a team of biologists, biochemists, immunochemists, chemists and mass spectrometrists and structural biologists with special expertise in the field of carbohydrates, and a library of ...

Expression proteomics determines where and when proteins are expressed and measures their quantities. This qualitative and quantitative approach can compare protein expression across conditions, such ...

Abstract: The Charge Coupled Device (CCD) scanner determines the concentration of the microarray by capturing the intensity of the fluorescent signal on the microarray in combination with the standard ...

Background: The epidemiologic transition in Mexico has generated a change of paradigm in public health. Morbidity is characterized by infectious diseases and the mortality is due to chronic ...

Abstract: We proposed a novel atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique based on the orthogonal cantilever probe (OCP) for measuring the sidewall of microstructure ...

Background: Genetic tests for primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) are expensive, time-consuming, and not easily accessible in developing countries. Therefore, we studied the feasibility of a ...
