Syngene's G:Box EF gel-documentation system is being used by scientists in a breeding centre at Aberystwyth University to help map the DNA and RNA from commercially important forage crops.
Molecular biologists at the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS) at Aberystwyth are using the system to accurately analyse agarose gels containing red and white clover DNA and RNA stained with Gelred Nucleic Acid Gel Stain.
The information from the gels is being used to map clover genes and is, in the long term, helping scientists at the IBERS to produce new varieties that can tolerate environmental stresses and are more nutritious feed stocks.
