Applications& Advantages of OmicsLink™ Clones

Express proteins with unique tag that facilitates purification and down-stream analysis
Generate probes of in situ hybridization for tissue or organ gene expression profiling
Produce templates for esiRNA for gene silencing functional analysis
Validation of shRNA/miRNA function
