Genomics

Genomics is the study of an organism’s genome, or genes and their function.  Genomics aims to understand the structure of the genome, including the mapping genes and sequencing the DNA.  Genomics examines the molecular mechanisms and the interplay of genetic and environmental factors in disease.

Genomics includes:

  • Functional genomics -- the characterization of genes and their mRNA and protein products.
  • Structural genomics -- the dissection of the architectural features of genes and chromosomes.
  • Comparative genomics -- the evolutionary relationships between the genes and proteins of different species.
  • Epigenomics (epigenetics) -- DNA methylation patterns, imprinting and DNA packaging.
  • Pharmacogenomics -- new biological targets and new ways to design drugs and vaccines.

Dynamic Devices fully automates a large variety of genomic applications that integrate many different products and technologies.  By combining different kits, sealers, thermocyclers, plate readers, shakers and incubators virtually all the manual processes can be automated.  The listed applications below is just a short list of the possibilities:

  • Large Volume Genomic DNA Purification
  • Total RNA Isolation from cells
  • Nucleic Acid Purification
  • DNA / RNA Quantification
  • Individual DNA Normalization
  • Sub Microliter PCR Setup
  • 96 and 384 Plate Format PCR Cleanup
  • cDNA Synthesis
