Free Seminar on “Advances in Gene Expression Studies” organized by Ocimum Biosolutions and Genome Explorations

Ocimum Biosolutions, a leading provider of Bioinformatics solutions and Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), announced today that Ocimum Biosolutions and Genome Explorations Inc are co-hosting a free technical seminar on “Advances in Gene Expression studies”, an interactive and educative meet for scientists, researchers, and corporate’s involved in Life Sciences Research.

Gene expression studies are used for genome-wide assessments of mRNA transcript levels. Considerable research effort is devoted to improve the methods of data generation and interpretation in microarray experiments. These studies are a very powerful tool for studying virtually every disease and trait and can provide valuable insights that are not obtainable with other techniques.

Ocimum’s CEO Anuradha Acharya said, “We are glad to co-host this event for scientists and researchers involved in cutting edge technology of gene expression studies. DNA microarrays are the most widely used tools for large-scale analysis of gene expression. We see that the largest future market of DNA microarrays is expected to be for clinical diagnostics. We hope that the attendees of this seminar are greatly benefited by this interactive and educative meet”.

About Genome Explorations Inc

Genome Explorations Inc. was founded by Dr. Divyen H. Patel to provide academic and industrial institutes with a ‘Complete Solution’ for gene expression profiling. Dr. Patel initiated and ran the Affymetrix GeneChip processing core at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The finding’s from one of the many studies conducted through his core was described in a seminal study on the cover of Cancer Cell (Cancer Cell Vol. 1 133-143 March 2002). The study showed for the first time that microarray technology could be used to enhance diagnosis of pediatric leukemia and could also be used to evaluate prognostic outcome. The extensive experience gained through working with scores of investigators on many varying projects has made Genome Explorations Inc. the number one choice for Investigators worldwide.
