Extraction of DNA and RNA from the sample source maximizes the information gained from precious or limited materials, providing an integrated molecular view. It enables researchers to correlate both genomic and transcriptomic data from the cellular matrix, eliminating the problem of sample variability. Omega Bio-tek has developed an innovative nucleic acid extraction methodology (Mag-Bind® DNA/RNA […]
Medicover Genetics conducted a comparison of hybridization and CRISPR-Cas9-based sequencing enrichment methods, utilizing the Mag-Bind® Blood & Tissue DNA HDQ 96 Kit for DNA extraction.
Circulating free DNA (cfDNA) derived from urine has emerged as a promising biomarker in the field of non-invasive diagnostics, particularly in oncology, nephrology, and other areas of medical research. With advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) and other molecular techniques, such as droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), the analysis of cfDNA from urine holds the potential to

Carisa Townsend1, Kiranmai Durvasula1, Julie Baggs1, and Travis Butts1 Omega Bio-tek, Inc, Norcross, GA 30071 Introduction Recent advancements and studies have demonstrated the potential of cfDNA as a universal, non-invasive biomarker in cancer prognosis, diagnosis, and prenatal testing. cfDNA are found in low abundance and in a background of contaminating genomic DNA making it a
Carisa Townsend1, Kiranmai Durvasula1, and Travis Butts1 Omega Bio-tek, Inc, Norcross, GA 30071 Introduction With advances in genomics research, personalized medicine, and sequencing-based technologies, there is a necessity for purification of high-quality genomic DNA from large volumes of blood. The rapidly growing landscape of biorepositories that store large amounts of DNA from an enormous number
Introduction Traditionally, plasmid DNA purification hinges on alkaline lysis. In this method, bacteria, typically E. coli, containing the targeted plasmid DNA are harvested from overnight culture and resuspended in solution. A highly alkaline solution containing a detergent lyses the bacteria cells and denatures both the plasmid and genomic DNA. The addition of a highly acidic
