GEN reports on expanding NextGen sequencing applications
September 04, 2009Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies are not only beginning to supplant traditional Sanger sequencing methodology but are also giving DNA microarrays a run for the money as well, reports Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News (GEN). Advantages of NGS include a streamlined workflow that eliminates transformation and colony picking and massive parallelism, according to the September 1 issue of GEN (www.genengnews.com/articles/chitem.aspx?aid=3016).
"De novo and resequencing projects have boosted interest in NGS," says John Sterling, Editor in Chief of GEN. "Other drivers include amplicon, transcriptome, and metagenomics research."
Jin Billy Li, Ph.D., from the Church Laboratory at Harvard Medical School, uses Illumina's Solexa sequencing system to do targeted sequencing of RNA editing sites. Targeted sequencing is an increasingly popular practice to further reduce the costs associated with sequencing. Rather than sequencing a whole genome or a whole library, targeted pieces are selected based on the nature of the study.
Matthew Ferber, Ph.D., codirector of the clinical molecular genetics laboratory at Mayo Clinic, is working on hereditary colon cancer. His team starts with 22 colon cancer genes on a Roche NimbleGen capture array, then elutes the DNA and submits it for second-generation sequencing on the 454 Life Sciences and Solexa platforms.
Nicholas Bergman, Ph.D., assistant professor in the school of biology at Georgia Institute of Technology, studies bacterial gene expression. He utilizes the Solexa platform and the SOLiD system from Applied Biosystems, a part of Life Technologies, to probe the functions and relationships of the Bacillus anthracis transcriptome.
Broad Institute scientists are working on identifying genetic changes that may cause glioblastoma, such as point mutations, structural rearrangements, and other events in the genome. One of the key strategies of their approach is targeting only the coding portion of the genome, which is just 1𔃀% of the overall genome. They utilize a method invented at the institute and work in collaboration with Agilent.

Robust state estimation for repetitive operating mode process: Application to sequencing batch reactors [An article from: Chemical Engineering Journal] by R. Aguilar-Lopez (Author), R. Martinez-Guerra (Author) This digital document is a journal article from Chemical Engineering Journal, published by Elsevier in 2007. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: The issue of this paper is related with the on-line state estimation of a class of sequencing batch reactors (SBR). This operating mode of SBR can be analyzed as a repetitive process, where some operating conditions changes from one batch to other, which leads to nominal model degradation of the plant and consequently a bad estimation performance when standard observers are employed. To avoid the problems above mentioned it is proposed a finite time convergence observer with a fractional power of the time... |

Application of a new type of moving bio-film in aerobic sequencing batch reactor (aerobic-SBR) [An article from: Journal of Environmental Management] by S. Sirianuntapiboon (Author), S. Yommee (Author) This digital document is a journal article from Journal of Environmental Management, published by Elsevier in .

Description: A moving bio-film (MB), made from the inner tube of used tyres was applied in a conventional-aerobic-SBR for increasing the system efficiency and quality of bio-sludge due to good sedimentation (the density of 1.925+/-0.21g/cm^3), non-biodegradability and reusability of the media without any regeneration. The total bio-sludge mass of the MB-aerobic-SBR was about 30% higher than that of the conventional-aerobic-SBR resulting in a reduction of the F/M value of the system and amount of suspended... |

Sequencing trade and monetary integration: issues and application to Asia [An article from: Journal of Asian Economics] by R. Pomfret (Author) This digital document is a journal article from Journal of Asian Economics, published by Elsevier in 2005. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: Regional integration for at least the last 60 years has focused on trade integration. Balassa's canonical taxonomy of regional trading arrangements is often interpreted as a sequence from free trade area through customs union and common market to economic union. In the 1980s the concept of deep integration went beyond trade with its focus on policy harmonization, which came to include monetary integration, but it presupposed trade integration as the first step in the regional integration sequence.

Metaheuristics for Scheduling in Industrial and Manufacturing Applications (Studies in Computational Intelligence) by Fatos Xhafa (Author), Fatos Xhafa (Editor), Ajith Abraham (Editor) This volume presents meta-heuristics approaches for scheduling problems arising in industrial and manufacturing applications. Nowadays, metaheuristics have become a de facto approach to tackle in practice with the complexity of scheduling problems. Early work applied evolutionary computing methods to scheduling problems. The present volume is novel in many respects. First, the proposed approaches comprise a variety of meta-heuristics (Genetic Algorithms, Memetic Algorithms, Ant Colony Optimization, Particle Swarm Optimization, Tabu Search, Scatter Search, Variable Neighborhood Search). Second, in most cases, hybridization is approached as the most effective way to achieve state-of-the art results. Third, and most importantly, the scheduling problems arising in real life applications... |
