Applications Compendium for Capillary Electrophoresis

An online collection of innovative Application Notes and Articles
focused on CE Workflows

Dear Genetic Analysis Researcher,

The successful completion of the human genome project has ushered in a new era in biosciences. The recent expansion in genome sequencing and the ready access to genomic data from a variety of organisms has extended the frontiers of scientific investigation and revolutionized the discovery process. For over 25 years, Applied Biosystems Genetic Analyzers have been used not only for DNA sequence analysis, but also for an expanding number of DNA fragment analysis applications. The study of genomes using capillary electrophoresis continues to be a fundamental research and validation tool for the life sciences. Whether your application focus is de novo or comparative sequencing, microsatellite analysis or SNP genotyping, Applied Biosystems offers capillary electrophoresis instruments and reagents to fit every researcher's needs.

Applied Biosystems often receives requests for poster reprints and other material produced throughout the year. 2008 saw a number of excellent studies presented at various conferences and included in our newsletters and other publications. We are pleased to bring these to you in a single publication. Presented here are a collection of recent articles, protocols, and procedures describing select applications of capillary electrophoresis sequencing technology. Both Applied Biosystems and our customers have contributed to this collection and hope that reading about their work will help guide your current research, or spark ideas for other innovative applications.


Wishing you success in your research,

The Applied Biosystems Genetic Analysis Team
