2011-02-04 14:11:32: invitation to attend the 10th Transgenic Technology meeting (TT2011)
Dear colleague,
The International Society for Transgenic Technologies (ISTT) organizes the
next, 10th, Transgenic Technology meeting (TT2011). The TT2011 meeting will
be held at the TradeWinds Island Grand Resort, in St Pete Beach, Florida,
USA, on October 24-26, 2011. As a participant in the previous TT2010
meeting we hope you enjoyed the experience and would like to join us again
this year, discussing the latest developments in the field of animal
transgenesis at a beautiful location in sunny Florida.
All TT2011 meeting details (scientific program, invited speakers,
accommodation, deadlines, abstract submission,…) can be accessed through
the official meeting web site at: http://www.tt2011.org

2011-01-29 18:18:05: RT-qPCR Guidelines: From Designing to Publishing Your Data
The Biotechnology Program Presents:
“RT-qPCR Guidelines: From Designing to Publishing Your Data”
Dr. Emir Hodzic, DVM, PhD
Director, Real-time PCR Research and Diagnostic Core Facility
Project Scientist, Center for Comparative Medicine, UC Davis

Abstract: Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is a technique that is now commonly employed in almost all molecular biology laboratories to elucidate variation in gene expression.
But with the widespread use of such a wonderful and sensitive technology comes differences in how to obtain valuable and reportable results. The lack of quality control for publishing qPCR data is still lacking. To overcome this increasing problem of lack of consistency in publications, a panel of real-time PCR experts published a set of guidelines containing what they consider the minimal information required when reporting qPCR results. The Real-time PCR Research and Diagnostic Core Facility at UC Davis fully abides with the proposed MIQE guidelines, so this presentation presents an expanded explanation of the guideline items with commentary, based on our experience, on how those requirements might be met prior to publication.
Bio: Dr. Emir Hodzic received his D.V.M. and PhD. from the School of Veterinaty Medicine at the University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. His postdoctoral training was with the Section of Comparative Medicine at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, CT where he studied animal models of Lyme disease and human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis. Dr. Hodzic is currently a director of the Real-time PCR Research and Diagnostic Core Facility as well as a project scientist for the Center for Comparative Medicine at UC Davis.
