DNAStar Lasergene 14

DNAStar has launched Lasergene 14 software. The update includes three new applications: GenVision Pro, a comprehensive genome browser; NovaDock, a protein-protein docking application; and NovaFold Antibody, a specific antibody structure prediction program. It also includes enhancements to virtual cloning with three new cloning methods, newly integrated combined next-generation sequencing workflows, enhancements to the de novo transcriptome workflow introduced with Lasergene 13, and a workflow in support of Sanger validation of NGS data, the company said.


Ambry Genetics ProstateNext Panel

Ambry Genetics has launched its ProstateNext 14-gene panel for hereditary prostate cancer. The panel evaluates germline ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, EPCAM, HOXB13, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, NBN, PALB2, PMS2, RAD51D, and TP53 genes using next-generation sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis to determine disease risk and/or treatment options.
