Does Applied Biosystems make products for gene expression?
Yes, Applied Biosystems’ Real-time PCR systems and TaqMan® fluorescently labeled probes and associated primers are among the best-selling products in the industry for gene expression studies. These systems are designed for very precise measurements of the expression levels of individual genes or a targeted set of genes. They can also detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). With the recent introduction of the Applied Biosystems Expression Array System, Applied Biosystems now offers the most complete and most sensitive human genome expression analysis system available. Until now, the process of studying gene expression, from whole-genome analysis to gene quantification and single-gene analysis, has required multiple technologies that have not been coordinated or supported in an integrated workflow. Now, a gene expression researcher first can use Applied Biosystems’ microarrays to identify which of the thousands of genes in a cell are over or under expressed (global gene expression
