Genome-Wide Mouse Splice Variant Array Launched By Jivan Biologics, Inc.

BERKELEY, Calif., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Jivan Biologics launched a genome-wide mouse splice variant microarray. The array interrogates hundreds of thousands of alternate RNA splicing events in the mouse genome, enabling scientists to quantify the expression of specific splice products rather than mere genes.

“Jivan is proud to offer a high-throughput tool to interrogate splicing events in the whole mouse genome,” said Subha Srinivasan, PhD, CEO of Jivan. “With our mouse array, researchers can systematically study the role of RNA splicing in this important model organism, leading to new biological insights and strategies for disease intervention.”

Full service, including sample labeling, hybridization and data analysis, is available in partnership with NimbleGen Systems and MOgene LLC, an Agilent Certified Service Provider. Catalogue arrays manufactured by NimbleGen Systems and Agilent Technologies are also available.

Jivan Biologics empowers scientists with new insight by providing a full catalogue of splice variant microarrays and companion PCR primer sets to benefit all stages of the drug development pipeline: biomarkers in blood, diagnostics, target validation, toxicology and basic research.

NimbleGen Systems, the leading supplier of flexible high-density microarray products and services, is enabling a new era of High-Definition Genomics. NimbleGen uniquely produces high-density arrays of isothermal long oligos that provide superior results for advanced genomic analysis methods such as CGH, ChIP, microbial Comparative Genome Sequencing, and expression tiling. NimbleGen’s High-Definition Genomics enables scientists to obtain and integrate complex genomic data sets not previously accessible, providing a much clearer understanding of genome structure and function, and how this relates to biology and medicine. This improved performance is made possible by NimbleGen’s Maskless Array Synthesis (MAS) technology, which uses digital light processing and rapid, high-yield photochemistry to synthesize high- density DNA microarrays.

MOgene LLC enables biological insights by providing services from experiment design to bioinformatics, leveraging the Agilent platform. MOgene is an Agilent Certified Service Provider and Jivan partner for splice array services and data analysis.
