Case Western Reserve University has received a $2.2 million grant from the Charles B. Wang Foundation to establish the Center for Computational Genomics. The center will tackle cutting-edge problems in genomics and bioinformatics, focusing on genomic analysis and disease prevention.
SEQUENOM successfully validated the largest collection of gene-based SNPs to date, identifying 3,148 previously unknown SNPs. The company's MassARRAY system enabled rapid and high precision SNP allele frequency determination in pooled DNA samples.
A new technique using self-organizing maps can quickly analyze the activities of thousands of genes, grouping similar genes together. This allows researchers to identify patterns in gene expression and potentially discover unknown genes, leading to new insights into human health and disease.
Perkin-Elmer and SmithKline Beecham collaborate on bioinformatics research to speed drug discovery. The partnership aims to develop sophisticated systems for data collection, analysis, and management.
