Advanced
Genotyping: allows for a faster and more efficient
multi-gene SNPs detection needed for the:
-
Detection of mutations and polymorphisms of genes associated
with complex disorders.
-
Efficient
follow-up of a therapy prescribed to evaluate the genetic
markers that condition patient’s response.
-
Implementation
of preventive medical protocols.
-
Study
of pharmacogenomics : the influence of genetics over pharmaceutical
drug metabolization, transport and receptor-mechanics helping
to identify the response of patients to active ingredients.
-
For the study of nutrigenomics: the field of genomics that
studies the influence of food over gene expression, protein
synthesis and metabolism.

Applications:
1.
Physicians and health professionals involved in the prediction
and prevention and treatment of complex disorders.
2. Clinical trials |

Gene
Expression: is the process by which a gene's DNA sequence
is converted into the functional or structural proteins of a cell.The
amount of protein that a cell expresses depends on the tissue,
the developmental stage of the organism and the metabolic or physiologic
state of the cell. Gene expression is used for:
- Determination
of the expression pattern and quatification of the level of
expression. This is done via the comparasion of a control
sample with the sample under test. i.e. healthy tissues vs
abnormal tissues.
-
Molecular caracterization of the accion of an active ingredient
(pharmaceutical drugs or nutraceuticals) through the study
of expression patterns in celular models or laboratory rats.
-
Screening and toxicology assessment of pharmaceutical drugs
by the analysis of genetic expression variations during the
drug administration period.
|
Applications:
Basic
research of pharmaceutical or nutraceutical development. |
|
Identification
of GMOs & Microorganisms: allows for the detection
of substances or organisms with different genetic structures needed
for the:
- Clinical
diagnosis and detection of microorganims foreign to host’s
cells. These can be tested both in food and living tissues
to provide an accurate diagnosis of the genetic markers of
the pathogen under study.
- Identification
of genetically modified organisms that do not comply with
governmental regulations such as soya and maize
|
Applications:
-
Food industry
- Regulatory Governmental institutions |
