Researchers Solve Mystery of Uner Tan Syndrome with Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing Using Roche NimbleGen Sequence Capture and 454 Sequencing Systems

07.2010 – A team of researchers from leading universities in Turkey and the United States have reported that they have identified the genetic mutation responsible for the Uner Tan Syndrome (UTS) using advanced genetic capture and sequencing technologies from Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY). The combined genomic technologies enabled the team of scientists to identify the causative mutation of this debilitating disease after years of mystery. The study was presented by Suleyman Gulsuner, M.D. f

Results from Two Multi-Site Collaborative Studies Highlight the Value of 454 Sequencing Systems for Genotyping Applications

07.2010 – 454 Life Sciences, a Roche Company (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), has announced promising new results from a multi-site collaborative research study which used the company-s Genome Sequencer FLX System to perform HIV drug-resistant mutation detection. The findings were outlined last month at the International HIV & Hepatitis Virus Drug Resistance Workshop in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and follow only weeks after the results from a similar multi-site research study, which used the company-s

Bizerba presents the new precision bread slicing machine BS 38

Balingen, 6th July 2010 – Whether you are cutting into halves, quarters or individual slices: the BS 38 brings the bread flexibly and individually into the required shape. The BS 38 cuts the most diverse types of bread individually according to the customer wishes. Whether it is soft, hard, still warm or a particularly thick whole grain crust – the bread cutting machine cuts any long or round bread up to a diameter of 30 centimetres. It won’t fail even if there are whole nuts. A special clamping
