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 OMPTM, that is useful for designing gene quantification assays involving PCR, DNA probes, and microarrays. Visual OMPTM 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 OMPTM 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.
