Pathway-Centric Tools and Technology™

New, Powerful and on the Web: Cross-Reference Genes with Our New Database Tool

You can now easily cross-reference the gene list for any of our arrays with related RT-PCR and siRNA products that share genes from the same biological pathways. The gene content of our three major product lines purposefully complement one another to provide an integrated platform for the systematic study of a single gene, or an entire collection of genes, on a pathway-by-pathway basis. The planned gene overlap among the three sets of tools accelerates the study of important disease state and cell function pathways. The cross-referencing tool on our website now helps you see this concept in action.

GEArray™ Product Data Sheets on the Web:

Start by browsing for interesting array products by clicking on the "GEArray Product List" link in the right-hand sidebar (beneath the heading "Product Lines") on most "cDNA array" web pages or by clicking on any "Application" link in the left-hand sidebar on any page. The GEArray Product List contains all of our DNA microarray products, while the Application links provide you with a list of DNA microarray products specifically designed for that application. These tables include the following information for each array: its catalog number, the species it represents, the product line to which it belongs, and its name. Clicking on the "Gene Table" link next to the product name brings our registered browsers to the complete array layout and gene table. Clicking on the name of a product provides all browsers with an array "Product Infosheet" that includes a Description, a gene list organized into Functional Gene Groupings, and relevant References.

The "Related PCR & RT-PCR Products" link connects directly to our catalog search engine to find all of the MultiGene-12™ RT-PCR Profiling Kits and SingleGene PCR Kits that represent the same biological pathways as the array product. This list includes all SingleGene PCR Kits available for the genes on the array. The results of your array experiment tell you whether certain genes alter their expression in interesting ways under your experimental conditions. Use these PCR & RT-PCR products to verify the relative expression profile of these interesting genes.

The "Related siRNA Products" link also connects directly to our catalog search engine and finds all SureSilencing™ siRNA Kits that represent the same biological pathways as the array product. This list includes all siRNA kits available for the same genes found on the array. Once array and RT-PCR analyses both agree that certain genes have interesting relative expression profiles, use these SureSilencing™ siRNA Kits to suppress the expression of those genes to help you further explore their function in the biological system under study.

Whether you start from either a human or a mouse GEArray, the related products links connect you to all PCR or siRNA products regardless of the species they represent. This aspect of the functionality accommodates researchers who use dual model systems in their research. If you use only a human or a mouse model system, pay close attention to the product names and their catalog numbers in the list to find the related products that you need.
