Invitrogen Launches GeneStorm Expression-Ready Human Gene Clones.


CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BW HealthWire)--Aug. 11, 1998--Invitrogen Corp. today announced the launch of more than 500 expression-ready human gene clones as a part of its revolutionary GeneStorm(tm) product line.

Fully expression-tested, packaged and ready for immediate use, this rapidly growing collection of full length human genes are invaluable for the advancement of functional genomics Noun 1. functional genomics - the branch of genomics that determines the biological function of the genes and their products
genomics - the branch of genetics that studies organisms in terms of their genomes (their full DNA sequences)
 and other gene analysis studies. Invitrogen's human GeneStorm clones are designed to save researchers weeks in laboratory research time to speed drug discovery, diagnostic development, and other biotechnology efforts, according to according to
prep.
1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians.

2. In keeping with: according to instructions.

3.
 Lyle C. Turner, president and chief executive officer of Invitrogen.

"We plan to create the world's largest collection of full length human genes using our proprietary gene cloning and expression technologies," said Turner. "With our GeneStorm product line, we have made the study of gene function as simple as ordering a gene and performing the desired genetic or biochemical tests when and where you like. For researchers, this removes the need to identify, isolate, clone and test a gene for expression themselves, which could result in more rapid and cost efficient breakthroughs in human medicine."

Invitrogen is one of the first to tackle the project of making the 100,000 gene human genome The human genome is the genome of Homo sapiens, which is composed of 24 distinct pairs of chromosomes (22 autosomal + X + Y) with a total of approximately 3 billion DNA base pairs containing an estimated 20,000–25,000 genes.  easily accessible to the general research community and is plannises, and human transcription factors This article or section may be confusing or unclear for some readers.

This approach was used earlier in the 1970s when cathode ray tubes would draw line segments representing edges of a BREP.
