The deciphering of the human genome has ushered in a new scientific era where the complexity of biological systems can be systematically evaluated. Technology enabling the simultaneous measurement of the expression of all known genes in a cell is becoming ubiquitous in today’s research environment. As a leading solution provider in the area of gene expression microarray technology, Agilent is helping solve the challenging questions posed by the world’s leading research organizations.

 Next-Generation DNA Sequencing |
| |
Next-generation sequencing technology has brought a high level of efficiency to the process of genome sequencing, but these workflows tend to be complex, time-consuming, costly to perform, and generate enormous amounts of data that need to be analyzed, moved, and stored. With the SureSelect Target Enrichment System, only the genomic areas of interest can be sequenced, creating process efficiencies that reduce costs and allow more samples to be analyzed per study. |

Gene Expression |
| |
The process whereby information encoded in a gene is transcribed into mRNA is called gene expression. To identify and characterize this expression, Agilent has developed an open platform using DNA oligo microarrays, optimized reagents and hardware. |

Oligo aCGH |
| |
Microarray-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) is a powerful technique used to identify and characterize DNA copy number changes (i.e. gains and losses), which are commonly found in cancer and many developmental abnormalities. |

miRNA |
| |
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small single-stranded non-coding RNAs thought to modulate the expression of over one-third of human genes. They may rival transcription factors in modulating genes and are involved in development, proliferation and differentiation, and apoptosis. |

ChIP-on-chip |
| |
Agilent has introduced a ChIP-on-chip microarray solution that extends beyond gene expression to explore gene regulation. The technology, also known as location analysis, provides insight into key mechanisms of embryonic stem cells and illnesses such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and central nervous system disorders. |

DNA Methylation |
| |
DNA methylation is an epigenetic biological mechanism that regulates genes. Agilent’s DNA methylation microarrays allow researchers to monitor and study the role of methylation events in cancer, gene silencing, and human disease. |
