SYBR® Green I as a biomarker for schizophrenia
Islamic Azad University of Tonekabon

The purpose of this study were to examine if the mRNA of the peripheral dopamine receptor is changed in schizophrenia patients. 50 Naive patients were enrolled. After extracting RNA from white blood cells, cDNA is synthesized. After doing the quantitative Real-time PCR, expression of D3 receptors in healthy persons and patients were compared. Results of this examinations reveals that expression of D3 receptor is increased in compared with controls sample.
Evaluation of a Novel Approach for the Measurement of RNA Quality
LGC Limited

The potential medical applications of microarrays have generated much interest, within the biomedical community. Numerous potential sources of variation have raised concerns regarding assay consistency and data quality. Previous studies have highlighted RNA integrity as having a major effect on data quality. We describe here a comparison of the performance characteristics of the Agilent (Bioanalyser) and Lab901 (Screen Tape System) platforms, and their capacity to determine sample RNA integrity.

Quantitative PCR Techniques, Avans University, Breda, The Netherlands
07 July 2009 - 10 July 2009

Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) is becoming more and more important in almost all laboratories. The aim of this international short-course is to give the participants an in-depth view in the theoretical and practical knowledge of qPCR Techniques.
Target Discovery World Congress, South San Francisco, CA, USA
04 August 2009 - 05 August 2009

Target Discovery World Congress will be a meeting focusing on the research looking to find new potential drugs for development. The topics will include presentations on the latest in screening platforms and new methods such as those in High Content and Label-Free Screening and will also focus on the work being done looking for new drug targets in some of the major protein families including Ion Channels, GPCRs, Protein Kinases, Nuclear Receptors and the Ubiquitin Pathway.
