qPCR Newsletter - October 2008
Dear researcher, dear Gene Quantification page reader, Our newsletter informs about the latest news in quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR and qRT-PCR), which are compiled and summarised on the Gene Quantification homepage. The focus of this newsletter issue is: - single-cell handling - new page ! - single-cell PCR - pages updated ! - worldwide qPCR application workshops - register now ! - 2nd announcement = qPCR 2009 Event = http://www.qPCR2009.net - online translation service of the Gene Quantification page to: - CHINESE DUTCH FRENCH GERMAN GREEK ITALIAN - JAPANESE KOREAN PORTUGUESE RUSSIAN SPANISH http://www.gene-quantification.asia http://chinese.gene-quantification.asia/ http://dutch.gene-quantification.info/ http://french.gene-quantification.info/ http://german.gene-quantification.info/ http://greek.gene-quantification.info/ http://italian.gene-quantification.info/ http://japanese.gene-quantification.asia/ http://korean.gene-quantification.asia/ http://portuguese.gene-quantification.info/ http://russian.gene-quantification.asia/ http://spanish.gene-quantification.info/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- single-cell handling The purpose of this single-cell handling page is to provide researchers and clinicians with workflows and resources for single-cell molecular analysis such as RT-PCR, quantitative PCR, and sequencing and with a focus on the front-to-backhandling of single cells = http://single-cell-handling.gene-quantification.info Interest in single cell molecular analysis has risen dramatically over the last couple of years, chiefly because single cell molecular analysis is the only way to research genetic heterogeneity, i.e., differences in copy number or gene expression levels between individual cells, or genetically analyze very rare cells such as circulating tumor or fetal cells. Single cell molecular analysis has provided new insight in diverse research areas such as immunology, oncology, stem cells or forensics. However, an often overlooked aspect of single cell analysis is the difficulties of handling single cells for molecular analysis associate with all three major methods for single cell manipulation: - Micromanipulation - LCM = Laser Capture Microdissection - Flow cytometry - Publications - Interviews, Talks and Posters -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Single-cell handling papers - New techniques for isolation of single prokaryotic cells. (REVIEW) - Single cell sorting and cloning. - Sampling efficiency of a single-cell capillary electrophoresis system. - Dynamic single cell culture array. - Quantitative RT-PCR from one single cell using the AmpliGrid technology. - Low volume amplification and sequencing of mitochondrial DNA on a chemically structured chip. - Low-volume amplification on chemically structured chips using the PowerPlex16 DNA amplification kit. - http://single-cell-handling.gene-quantification.info -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE single-cell qPCR page The purpose of this single-cell PCR page is to provide researchers with resources (papers, talks, posters) for single-cell molecular analysis such as RT-PCR and quantitative PCR = http://singlecell.gene-quantification.info/ New and innovative papers around single-cell qPCR: Intracellular expression profiles measured by real-time PCR tomography in the Xenopus laevis oocyte.

The real-time polymerase chain reaction (a section with single-cell qRT-PCR). Single-cell gene expression profiling. Gene expression and the myth of the average cell. Combining laser capture microdissection with quantitative real-time PCR: effects of tissue manipulation on RNA quality and gene expression. RNA amplification strategies for small sample populations. Gene expression of single chondrocytes. Gene expression profiling of individual bovine nuclear transfer blastocysts. Sensitive and quantitative measurement of gene expression directly from a small amount of whole blood. Expression profiling of small cellular samples in cancer: less is more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With the new qPCR INFO PORTAL and all the presented tools we will help you with to find the right information about qPCR and related topics in Molecular Biology in the literature and in the World Wide Web. = Papers / Protocols / Methods / Databases / Alets / Feeds / Books / Forums / E-mail / Directory http://infoportal.gene-quantification.info/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upcoming Events World-wide academic and commercial qPCR Events http://events.gene-quantification.info/ Symposia, Meetings, Conferences, Workshops, Seminars, Online-Seminars, qPCR Education Program, ...etc..
