Press Releases

Date Focus Highlight
August
24th,
2011		 microRNA V17 Launch "This latest microRNA product release marks the third update to our microRNA product line, and features not only the most current annotation, but also a new hybridization chemistry enabling greater microarray signal intensities at reduced sample input," said Richard Su, Head of Product Development. "Furthermore, as our whole genome gene expression microarray product line expands, we anticipate a set of complementary microRNA microarrays to offer researchers the capability to conduct gene and microRNA expression profiling studies in parallel."
July
6th,
2011		 Rice Microarray Launch "As the world's major food staple, rice has been one of the most studied plant genomes. Genomic tools for gene expression profiling and sequence analysis will enable researchers to develop rice strains with improved crop yield as well as tolerance against various environmental stresses," said Shengwan Lee, President and CEO. "As a strong proponent of agricultural research to improve global food supplies, we plan to develop expression microarrays for additional crops to allow researchers around the globe to benefit from affordable genomics screening assays."
March
16th,
2011		 Rat Microarray Launch "Amidst an environment of budget constraints, the release of our high-quality and affordable rat microarray is timely for the rat model research community - particularly with increased efforts toward understanding the underlying mechanisms of neurological and inflammatory diseases," said Lester Lien, President, US Operations. "Furthermore, as the FDA starts requiring toxicogenomic data in new drug applications, expression profiling in rat models will be necessary for biomarker development and validation in the drug development process."
