Applied Biosystems has released a new set of genomic analysis tools to aid disease research and agricultural studies. These tools are available through the latest release of the TaqMan gene expression assays product line to evaluate levels of RNA
Expression. These new predesigned TaqMan assays will allow researchers to expand their applications of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based gene expression analysis. The assays will enable genomic analysis and help to advance both animal and human disease research.
Scientists at Michigan State University are applying RNA expression analysis to study mastitis, a disease that frequently afflicts dairy cattle, costing farmers billions of dollars a year. This team of researchers is using custom TaqMan gene expression assays
The latest release of TaqMan gene expression assays broadens Applied Biosystems' collection of more than a million predesigned assays across 15 different species, and Applied Biosystems will continue to add to its catalogue of predesigned assays for species and organisms relevant to critical research applications. TaqMan gene expression assays are available through Applied Biosystems' website.
