Gene Synthesis

Codon Devices
Gene synthesis is a new way to generate gene-length DNA constructs for use in research. Unlike traditional oligonucleotide synthesis techniques, which manufacture very short stretches of single-stranded DNA (typically less than 100 base pairs), Codon Devices' Gene Synthesis offering enables the production of DNA constructs of 1,000 base pairs or more. Simply provide us your sequence of interest and Codon Devices will deliver a 100% sequence-verified Constructed Clone in the form of double-stranded, error-free DNA, cloned into a vector. Codon Devices' synthetic genes eliminate the need for sourcing template DNA, ordering PCR oligonucleotides, and performing tedious and time-consuming conventional cloning and verification techniques.

AGRF
The AGRF Microarray Group was established in January 2000, with the goal to provide quality arraying services to the Australian research community. This service encompasses two microarray platform technologies, spotted DNA libraries onto glass surfaces and the Affymetrix GeneChip Technology.

Monoclonal Antibodies

IBA
Custom monoclonal antibody service. A fast and flexible service according to your needs

Oligo Synthesis

Gene Link
Synthesis of long oligos up to 250 mer requires greater than 99.5% coupling efficiency. This can only be attained by using reagents of exacting specifications, optimized protocols and state-of-the-art instruments. Gene Link has perfected and maintains these standards.

Optical Mapping

OpGen - Optical mapping
A leader in high precision microbial genome analysis, OpGen offers its unique and powerful Optical Mapping Technology. Optical Mapping rapidly generates high-resolution, ordered, whole genome restriction maps from single DNA. Optical Maps are generated de novo, independent of prior sequence information, and provide a comprehensive view of genomic architecture. Whole genome analysis may be performed on bacteria, yeast or fungi. Applications of Optical Mapping include high resolution epidemiology, comparative genomics, sequence closure and validation, microbial strain typing in areas of clinical microbiology, epidemiology, pharmacology, microbial forensics, manufacturing quality control, and applied research.

Transgenic Cells & Animals

Caliper Life Sciences
Altering the gene expression in a mammalian model system and examining the biological effects of the genetic alteration is a method commonly used to evaluate gene function.
Caliper Life Sciences offers state-of-the-art technology by which the generation of mice and rats carrying additional copies of normal and mutant genes can be produced. This program is made possible by the use of a patented pronuclear microinjection process (U.S. Patent 4,873,191). The transgenic mice and rats generated and characterized by our scientists have been used to study the effects of gene function in labs around the world.

Yeast Two Hybrid Screen

Dualsystems - Custom DUALhybrid screening
The DUALhybrid system is an optimized genetic screening system based on the popular yeast two-hybrid system. It detects protein interactions in vivo and allows you to find novel interactors of your protein of interest.It does not require you to purify or work with proteins A custom DUALhybrid screen saves you time and money. There is no need to learn about working with yeast or to buy new incubators, kits, media and cDNA libraries. Instead, you just hand us the relevant information and we start working right away.

Dualsystems - Custom DUAL hunter screening
The DUALhunter system has been designed for use with proteins that are self-activating in the classical yeast two-hybrid system. A custom DUALhunter screen will allow you to go beyond classical yeast two-hybrid and screen self-activating proteins, transcription factors, or acidic proteins. Just provide us the cDNA encoding your protein of interest and select a cDNA library, we perform the entire screening for you.

Dualsystems - Custom DUALmembrane screening
By taking advantage of our custom DUALmembrane screening services, you can screen integral membrane proteins or membrane associated proteins for novel interaction partners, taking you well beyond the limits of the conventional yeast two-hybrid system.
