Mars, USDA, IBM-Led Team Sequence Cacao Genome
Researchers from Mars, Inc., the US Department of Agriculture's Agriculture Research Service, and IBM have sequenced the cacao genome and are making the data publicly available prior to publication.
The new integrated fluidic circuit, called the FR48, enables users to run 48 assays on 48 samples on Fluidigm's existing BioMark and EP1 instruments as well as a new instrument that was specially designed for the new chip. The company recommends that the reusable chip be used a maximum of five times for optimal performance.
