Ocimum Biosolutions offers new solutions in microRNA

Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, July 6, 2010: Ocimum Biosolutions, a global integrated genomics company, today announced that it now offers cutting edge solutions using miRNA microarray technology. A wide range of miRNA microarray kits and assays including human, mouse, rat and other systems are available immediately on Ocimum’s proprietary OciChip™ platform.

The epoxide coated microarray slides are spotted with probes which target the miRNAs available in the latest (April 2010) mirBase Release 15 as well as many putative miRNAs. Apart from miRNA microarray chips, Ocimum also offers a complete range of customized services, from miRNA probe/chip design to suit specific experiments to end-to-end chip-to-analysis services.

Ms. Anu Acharya, CEO of Ocimum Biosolutions said “We have been offering the entire gamut of services – miRNA probe design, array design, spotting/printing, isolation, hybridization and bioinformatic analysis – for many years now. With this launch, we have bundled relevant services into a package making it even easier for researchers to work with us.”

She further added “With multiple arrays per slide, researchers will be able to perform multiple hybridization experiments per slide, making the OciChip™ miRNA kits very cost-effective compared to other providers.”

About miRNA Microarrays

miRNAs are small non-protein-coding RNA molecules that play a crucial role in development and life cycle of humans, animals and plants. They function as global regulators of gene expression by targeting specific mRNAs and play a significant role in disease manifestation. miRNAs either inhibit translation or promote mRNA degradation. miRNAs can also be hybridized to microarrays, slides or chips with probes to hundreds or thousands of miRNA targets, so that relative levels of miRNAs can be determined in different samples.
