Features
angiogenesis factors/regulators newly formed tube-like structures are stained with the provided fluorescent dye and the extent of tube formation, such as average tube length and branch point, can be quantified using an imaging software. Each kit provides sufficient quantities to perform up to 50 assays in 96-well plates as well as an Inhibitor Control. The kit can be used e.g. for screening of angiogenesis inhibitors and stimulators or studies of angiogenesis related signal transduction.

Overcoming Technical Limitations the Accel-NGS™
in Epigenetics Research Compared to other approaches,
Methyl-Seq DNA Library Kit for Illumina® platforms
utilizes Adaptase™ technology, a unique molecular biology method that works with single-stranded DNA. The Adaptase technology enables next generation sequencing (NGS) libraries to be made post-bisulfite treatment, allowing researchers to recover more of their input DNA and use a hundredfold less input material compared to other commercially available products. This new approach also avoid the high bias inherent
in random primer-based methods as Introduction of the
underlying technology ligates adapters in a sequence independent manner.
the Accel-NGS
Methyl-Seq Kit delivers researchers an alternative from choosing between a traditional post-library prep with low yields and a highly biased random primer method.

Gene Codes Corporation
Releases Sequencher 5.3 Gene Codes Corporation announces the release of Sequencher 5.3, DNA Sequence and Analysis Software. The latest release of Sequencher highlights Gene Codes’ goal of providing researchers with powerful, easy to use DNA analysis software tools. Sequencher 5.3 adds RNA-Seq analysis to its long list of DNA sequence analysis features, as well as improvements to Sequencher Connections, its newest architecture for DNA sequence analysis. The most notable new addition to Sequencher 5.3 incorporates the Cufflinks algorithm suite for RNA-Seq analysis. This adds to Sequencher’s lineup of NGS plugins that includes GSNAP, BWA, and MAQ for reference-guided alignment and Velvet for de novo DNA assembly. Sequencher 5.3 also features visualization tools for differential expression analysis. Users can view Volcano plots, Bar charts, and Scatter plots that are linked to their underlying data. Another big change in Sequencher 5.3 is the enhancements to Sequencher Connections. Introduced in Sequencher 5.2, Sequencher Connections is a new interface that allows users to run multiple analyses in parallel by setting up different channels. Each channel is a different analysis and can include BLAST searches (either of NCBI’s databases or local databases), Primer-BLAST searches, or MUSCLE alignments with different parameters. In Sequencher 5.3, users can customize their session names and analyses. With sessions now saved with the project file, they can re-run analyses at any time with new parameters. The Schematic makes it easy to compare BLAST and Primer-BLAST results in a single consolidated graphic.
