FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DNA Software Director of Research, Dr. Svetlana Morosyuk to
Present “Oligonucleotide Hybridization: Scientific Principles
and Software” at Profiling PCR and Beyond
Ann Arbor, Mich. – March 8, 2003
— Dr. Svetlana Morosyuk, DNA Sofware director of research,
will present DNA Software’s scientific and software advancements
as they relate to gene quantification at Cambridge Healthtech’s
“Profiling PCR and Beyond” in Baltimore, Maryland.
Dr. Morosyuk will present DNA Software’s
latest version of in silico environment, Visual OMP, that
is useful for designing gene quantification assays involving
PCR, DNA probes, and microarrays. Visual OMP uses a comprehensive
model of nucleic acid thermodynamics and includes algorithms
for calculating the concentration of all species in an assay
at any temperature. Visual OMP also includes the ability to
predict an outcome of a single-target PCR reaction. This useful
feature accounts for suboptimal primer binding, target folding,
and 3’ extendibility of non-desired structures, which may
occur during PCR. It allows users to explore the effects of
different ingredient concentrations and annealing temperatures.
The software can also be used to design and simulate PCR reactions
in the presence of probe(s) and multiple primer pairs.
Dr. Morosyuk will speak at 3:30 pm, Thursday,
June 5.
