 New Sigma Life Science and SwitchGear Genomics Project to Enable Investigation into Gene Regulation in a Variety of Biological Pathways
10 Aug 2010 Sigma Life Science and SwitchGear Genomics announce a joint project to develop and distribute a novel microRNA (miRNA) target reporter system. Combining SwitchGear Genomics’ expertise with Sigma’s versatile lentiviral technology, these ready-to-use reporter vectors are expected to simplify miRNA target validation, enabling researchers to investigate gene regulation in a variety of biological pathways.
“This is a very exciting joint effort,” said Dr Nathan Trinklein, CEO and co-founder of SwitchGear Genomics. “We believe that combining unique technologies from SwitchGear Genomics with Sigma’s industry-leading lentiviral technology and production capabilities will enable researchers to study miRNA function and gene regulation on an unprecedented scale.” The genome-wide collection of reporter vectors is expected to provide highly effect...
