Assistance for women who have difficulty conceiving often relies on in vitro fertilization technology. The number of "test-tube babies" born is increasing each year around the world, but the success rate remains low and might be improved by enhanced m . . .

The flow cytometry lab at Acme has experienced and forecasts continual increases in daily specimen volumes throughout 2015. In an effort to effectively manage capacity, the flow cytometry lab has implemented Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to optimiz . . .

CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) system is derived from a prokaryotic adaptive immune system that uses an RNA-guided DNA nuclease to mutate and silence viral DNA infections (Jinek et al., 2012). These nucleases have b . . .

This project was conducted in a clinical laboratory that offers testing that is developed and performed within its own laboratories. These are referred to by the Food and Drug Administration as laboratory developed tests (LDTs). On October 3rd 2014, F . . .

The goal of this project was to develop a novel PCR technology for detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with statin induced myalgia. We compared different PCR methods using sequence specific primers and UP tagged primers. Res . . .

Preserving the genetic material of exotic species is essential to maintain genetic diversity and to ensure the survival of captive populations. In this project, chicken fibroblast (FB) nuclei are inserted into inactivated avian germline stem cells (GS . . .

This research project was sponsored by the marketing department at Company X. As flow cytometry experiments become increasingly complex, researchers need tools and products dedicated to making experimental design as efficient as possible. For example, . . .

Astaxanthin is a high-value red carotenoid pigment commonly used in the food, feed and cosmetics industries due to its well-known antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor properties. The unicellular microalga Haematococcus pluvialis is one of the . . .

Controlling interferon production will reduce the frequency of relapses of multiple sclerosis and provide a better quality of life for patients. Finding the gatekeepers within the pDC pathway that controls IFN production will lead to therapeutic devel . . .
