Canadian firm Norgen Biotek last week launched its All-in-One Purification kit for the isolation of proteins, RNA, microRNA, and DNA sequentially from a single sample using one column. The use of phenol/chloroform or acetone is not necessary with the kit, according to the company.
GeneGo said the next release of MetaCore will include cow orthologs in a collaboration with the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, which identified the matching bovine-mouse-rat-human orthologous pairs.
MetaCore 4.5, the latest version, already includes mouse, rat, fly, worm, yeast, chicken, chimpanzee, rhesus macaque, dog, and Plasmodium falciparum.
