- Genotyping Technology—SNP-ing Out Information
-
Life Science Technologies
4 April 2008
Researchers from academia and industry continue to make new technologies and tools to learn more from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). As expected, some of the advances come from higher density microarrays. Nevertheless, ancillary technologies, such as microfluidics, deliver additional advances. Moreover, researchers are also exploring variations beyond SNPs.

- Genomic Biomarker Discovery: Bringing the Genome to Life
-
Life Science Technologies
28 March 2008
A convergence of technological breakthroughs has taken genomic biomarker discovery to a new level. Between advances in sequencing, evolving array designs, and a more sophisticated understanding of genome architecture, simple tests for glucose, cholesterol, and human chorionic gonadotropin could soon be competing for pharmacy shelf space with gene expression– and epigenome-based diagnostics that promise to detect diseases earlier, stratify patients into treatment classes, and identify those most likely to respond to therapies. First to benefit: cancer patients. The era of personalized medicine is just around the corner.
