Ocimum has constructed the genome microarray for Sulfolobus solfataricus for a systems-biology approach to study the evolution and characteristics of central cellular functions in living cells.
The company provided the microarray as part of the Sulfosys project, which was co-ordinated by Prof John van der Oost.
'For researchers who want to target specific genes or small genomes, our Ocichip custom microarrays have become the platform of choice,' said Anu Acharya, chief executive officer of Ocimum Biosolutions.
'These cost-effective microarrays can be used on all open array platforms,' she added.
