2. 11-05-08 ORB introduces Sanger 12 Plus Human MicroRNA
   ORB is pleased to begin providing profiling services utilizing our proprietary Sanger 12 microRNA array, which covers 854 human mature microRNAs. The microarray also includes an additional 379 "Invitrogen Novel" probes which detect small RNAs. ORB also offers microRNA profiling services for Rat and Mouse utilizing our Sanger 11 Rat/Mouse microRNA array. Please see our MicroRNA page for further information.
3. 9-18-08 ORB customer demonstrates potential role of stem cell-associated antigen CD133 in regulation of Wnt signaling pathway.
   In a recent publication in Stem Cells, Dr. Germana Rappa, Oystein Fodstad, and Aurelio Lorico of University of South Alabama, utilized ORB's gene expression profiling service to identify 10 Wnt inhibitor genes which were up regulated in FEMX-I cells in response to infection by a retrovirus expressing anti-CD133 shRNAs. Real-time PCR data presented in the paper showed nearly complete concordance with gene expression data obtained from the Human Exonic Evidence-Based Microarrays run at ORB
