What fun we had at the workshop these last few days. After discussing reagents, Taqman assays (substances used in the DNA testing process) and Applied Biosystem's (AB) new technology, each center is looking forward to returning home to incorporate these new techniques into their labs.
As the lead in research and development for AB, I work directly with Genographic researchers to select and create some of the appropriate technologies to enable each lab to produce quality results. In particular, a group of AB researchers and I develop custom reagents called multiplex 2 and Taqman assays for the Genographic Project. While I communicate daily via email and phone with the global Genographic centers, this face to face time in the lab proved to be very valuable.
