Anatrace – Pre-Mixed Bicelle Products

Since entering the scene 26 years ago, bicelles and their studies have revealed the very unique temperature-dependent phase properties of bicelles – making them ideal for crystallization experiments. So much so, that more than 20 membrane protein structures from most major functional classes were determined from bicelles just in the past few years.  To gear up for the continued growth in the use of bicelles for crystallization, Anatrace has developed two new, pre-mixed bicelle solutions of the most commonly used lipid/detergent combinations: 2.8:1 DHPC:CHAPSO and 2.8:1 DMPC:CHAPSO.

TECHNICAL REPORT

Targeted NGS Method to Detect Gene Level CNV with Fewer Reads – by NuGEN

To analyze copy number variations (CNVs), next generation sequencing (NGS) approaches have required expensive deep whole genome sequencing and/or complicated analysis procedures. Here we present a simple analytical method capable of extracting CNVs from Single Primer Enrichment Technology (SPET) libraries with good quality DNA as well as DNA derived from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues.  Click here to read more.

To reduce pre-Alzheimer’s cognitive impairment, get to the yoga mat

Inner peace and a flexible body may not be the most valuable benefits that yoga and meditation have to offer, suggests new research by a UCLA-led team of neuroscientists.

The team found that a three-month course of yoga and meditation practice helped minimize the cognitive and emotional problems that often precede Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia — and that it was even more effective than the memory enhancement exercises that have been considered the gold standard for managing mild cognitive impairment.  Read more at http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases...
