TWO new CE-IVD labelled fluorescence in situ hybridisation (Fish) probes have expanded Oxford Gene Technology lung cancer portfolio. The Cytocell Aquarius ROS1 Plus breakapart and RET breakapart probes are said to specifically and accurately detect rearrangements in the genome associated…
IN WHAT is becoming something of a Christmas tradition, Oxford Gene Technology has launched an interactive online game aimed at the laboratory. This year’s game invites players to build a snowman using a simple online interface, and then to share…
WHEN Oxford Gene Technology (OGT) hosted a workshop at the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) 2012 conference in Germany last month, it was pleasantly surprised to find the event oversubscribed. The 200 attendees who were able to get in,…
AN APPLICATION note now available from Oxford Gene Technology provides scientists with valuable guidance on the use of targeted probes to improve data quality in next-generation sequencing. The note, titled Fishing for variants in the deep end of the gene…
THE LATEST addition to Oxford Gene Technology’s microarray range promises accurate and economical detection of copy number changes and loss of heterozygosity, all on a single array. The CytoSure ISCA +SNP combines array comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH) probes with fully…
THE FIRST in a new line of cancer research microarrays from Oxford Gene Technology (OGT) promises confident detection of copy number variation (CNV) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on a single chip. The CytoSure Haematological Cancer +SNP array is used…
A LITTLE distraction from the lab bench is offered by Oxford Gene Technology with its online Santa catapult game. Instead of sending Christmas cards, OGT has made an electronic card with this playable game, and will reward the winner with…
