Symposium 2008 / p10 / Tecan Intro
Allen Brain Atlas: New tools for studying the brain• Project to create online 3D map showing
how and where each of 21,000 genes is activated in the mouse brain
• 90% of mouse genes have a direct counterpart in humans
• Project began in September 2003 and was completed 3 years later
• Atlas shows which areas of the brain can be affected by disease, which genes in those areas are turned "on" and which genes are turned "off.“
• Invaluable tool for scientists studying mental diseases and disorders, like autism, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's
• Allen Institute now mapping the human neocortex, the outer part of the brain associated with higher functions such as consciousness, language, and sensory perception
Symposium 2008 / p11 / Tecan Intro
The Genographic Project: An “Atlas of the Human Journey”
• The Genographic Project is a 5 year research project to study the migratory history of the human species
• The core of the project is the collection DNA samples from indigenous populations
• They contain key genetic markers that have remained relatively unaltered over hundreds of generations and are reliable indicators of ancient migratory patterns.
• Also involves collection of DNA from volunteers in general public
• Project is a partnership of National Geographic, IBM, and Family Tree DNA
• FTDNA using Tecan technology for processing and storage of collected DNA samples
Symposium 2008 / p12 / Tecan Intro
Biofuels: The next generation of energy• The next generation of biofuels will come
from designer micro-organisms that metabolize renewable biomass to synthesize hydrocarbon fuels
• These fuels resemble existing petroleum based fuels that can be utilized within existing fuel infrastructure.
• Tecan is working with the leading companies in this field
• Amyris, Great Lakes, LS9, University of York, and Valcent
• Tecan is developing automated systems to evaluate and select engineered micro-organisms that demonstrate optimized conversion of feedstock
