Global Genomics' tangerine® gene expression profiling method published

Global Genomics' tangerine® gene expression profiling method published Researchers at Global Genomics(SM) AB (Stockholm, Sweden) are pleased to announce today's publication in the journal Nucleic Acids Research of the tangerine gene expression profiling method. The paper describes the advanced features of tangerine gene expression profiling - unbiased whole genome coverage, automatic combinatorial gene identification and sensitivity down to 7.5 parts per 10 million transcripts - and analyzes performance across multiple experiments.

About Global Genomics Global Genomics develops and out-licenses innovative tools in functional genomics that provide unique insight into healthy, diseased or drug-treated cells. The company's expertise in advanced molecular biology techniques and computational analysis has resulted in the recent launch of tangerine® gene expression profiling, a proprietary solution that reveals a whole genome expression profile in a single experiment. High coverage and sensitivity ensure complete profiles of expressed genes, giving researchers the ability to study gene regulation in any disease or eukaryotic model, since there is no prerequisite for sequence data. The tangerine technology is based on PCR, capillary electrophoresis, proprietary databases and algorithms that generate gene expression profiles. Incorporating such comprehensive gene expression profiling at key stages in drug discovery significantly improves selection of targets and lead compounds, leading to well-validated drug candidates and expediting development of a strong pharmaceuticals portfolio.
