ARLINGTON, Va., March 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --BioInformatics LLC has announced the release of their latest report, The Market for Stem Cell Research Products. Stem cells are valued for their ability to self-renew and differentiate into a wide variety of different cell types. Because of their unique properties, stem cells are used in many different areas of health and medical research. Market share, brand health and customer loyalty scores are presented for all leading competitors including Thermo Fisher, BD Biosciences, Sigma-Aldrich, StemCell Technologies, GE Healthcare and more. Key findings from the report: The Market for Stem Cell Research Products is the third in a series of topics to be explored using the Interactive Market Intelligence platform. The primary research analysis is based on a survey of 500+ international scientists using stem cells in their research. See the report brochure (PDF) and Interactive Market Intelligence demo video.

Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a new method for DNA analysis of microbial communities such as those found in the ocean, the soil, and our own guts. "Metagenomics is the study of entire microbial communities using genomics, such as when you sequence the DNA of a whole community of organisms at once," said Patrick Chain, the lead Los Alamos scientist on the project. "The result is an enormous data set of short sequences, or 'reads,' that you need to sort through to try to understand which organisms are actually present, and what they may be doing. Here at Los Alamos, we specialize in incredibly large data sets, we know how to handle them whether it's for physics, ocean or climate modeling, or for complex biological insights. "We have developed a new tool in this rapidly expanding and evolving field of what is called 'metagenomics'." said Chain, "it uses nucleic acid data and looks for sections that map uniquely to a preconstructed database." In a paper this week in the journal Nucleic Acids Research, "Accurate read-based metagenome characterization using a hierarchical suite of unique signatures," the researchers present this novel method for shotgun metagenomic read classification, a method … Continue reading →
