Complex and Neurological Disease Research using TaqMan Gene Expression Assays and Arrays

Complex diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease, are caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.  At the heart of understanding and thereby treating complex diseases is identifying the many factors, both genetic and environmental, and the interaction of these factors, that affect disease onset and progression.  

TaqMan Gene Expression Assays allow researchers to use real-time PCR to investigate how gene expression is changed in samples taken from an individual with a complex disease.  Furthermore, TaqMan Assays are useful in in vitro studies focusing on a single genetic or environmental factor thought to be in involved in complex disease.

In addition to single tube assays, we also have a variety of both configurable and fixed content TaqMan Array products focused on complex disease research.  TaqMan Arrays are pre-spotted 96-well plates or 384-well microfluidic array cards, saving you the time of pipetting many assays into an empty plate.  Just add your cDNA and master mix and you’re ready to go!
